SSH2

[Burke, Thomas G.]

I tried changing my liste port to 27 (& firewall to match) & broke my setup  - could not log in...  Got home, fixed one at a time, & could not get back in until I changed both back to 22...  Still trying to figure that out..

It doesn't need to stop there.  Does RedHat use suauth? (I am a Slackware 
user). 

If you edit (or create) /etc/suauth and add: 
root:ALL EXCEPT GROUP wheel:DENY 

Only users of the wheel group will be able to su.  Like how FreeBSD is 
setup. 

I actually just locked myself out by adding this (woops :)

No, it does not.  The thinking is to make it harder for somebody to 
figure out a username and password for SSH login and then trying to 
figure out a password to su - to root.  Since it takes more time to 
figure out usernames and passwords than just passwords, you are more 
likely to discover the break in attempt.
