Hi All,

I disabled the root ssh login on all three app servers but I am getting error that ‘root’ login is not disabled on App Server 1 when I checked the answers.

Hi @bdahiya

After updating the sshd configuration, you must restart the SSHD service on all App Servers for the changes to take effect.

That could be the reason for the failure.

seems like a bug, even i did for all servers but its showing not done for one user.

Please try this solution and see if it works for you.
