What’s Debian based on again? I think it was some earlier variant of Ubuntu

        Why would you want to disable root?

        Remote root login is disabled by default, local root disabeling is useless anyway, as when you have acdess to the physical system you can break it open anyway.

            It’s a better way, but not fool proof. I always keep root available for console login. (Saves booting from external media when there is an issue) For the rest, sudo is perfect though, but it doesn’t replace root login in 100% of the situations.
