Hi Mark.

There is nothing wrong with your original code. There's nothing fancy about it!

Good luck!

All, I just ran this using a \# and it worked, but without the escape it didn't work.

I also ran it without the \ escape and it worked. no idea what I was seeing before that could have caused the issue.

Code:

sed -e 's/#PermitRootLogin yes/PermitRootLogin no/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
