On some systems you limit the users that can "su" in the sudoers file, correct? On Debian and Gentoo, I think, the user must be in the "wheel" group to be able to "su root".

I thought I could configure ssh to prevent root access (I never login root remotely anyway). I will also limit su to a single user.

/etc/sudoers limits users and what users can do using sudo. Don't think it effects su, but I could be wrong.

You can (and should) accomplish this in /etc/ssh/sshd_config via: PermitRootLogin no
