Disabling root login on ssh?

[Sina Bahram]

I would probably rather use keys myself, but have to set it up for a
coworker as well...and unless if there's an easy way to do this from a
windows box...the keys, I mean, I'll have to stick to nice complicated
passwords....not that SSH is all that secure to begin with, from what I
hear? *please note the question mark* <smile>

But, any thoughts on this problem?

Take care,
Sina

Have you tried disabling password logins and using keys? Or would you rather
not use keys?
