How do I edit sshd_config with my users?
Hi,I'm new here and following the guide "How to secure your server".
As I was trying to "Disallow root logins over SSH" I can not edit the file.
I saw some comments down below, they said we need to add AllowUsers or AllowGroups first, and I don't know how… Please help. Or are there any other ways to solve this problem? Thanks a lot!

/etc/ssh/sshd_config is owned and is only writable by the super-user:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3296 Oct 13 07:57 /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Disclaimer: your date & size won't match.
Consequently, you need to be logged in as the super-user to edit this file:
sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
or
sudo vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
-- sw
