Just for the record, you can enable root logins but disallow password logins, so root has to be done with a public/private key-pair. That said, I do as you describe and still SSH to my ssh-user account, then "su" to root as needed from there. But at least there's a middle ground that isn't as vulnerable as putting a root account out there to be banged on by any script-o-matic bot that finds it. I also like to change my external SSH port to something non-traditional (and have configured port-knocking in the past) to prevent the obvious pokes I would otherwise see in my sshd/auth/access logs. -tkc
