I'm guessing that you are using SSH to log into your box remotely. In that
case, there is a line in /etc/ssh/sshd.config that you need to add or
uncomment, I can't remember which. The line is:
PermitRootLogin no
There you go. If you are using Telnet, I would just advise against that
anyway.

Knowledge is Power. Time is Money. Power=Work/Time. Therefore
Knowledge=Work/Money. Solving for Money: Money=Work/Knowledge. Thus, as
Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity, regardless of work
done.
