Hey Clive. I thought it was mentioned earlier before in the thread,
but if not, all you need to do is edit your sshd_config file. In
Debian, this is located at /etc/ssh/sshd_config, but it could be
different for other distros. Open that up in a text editor and then
locate the line that says PermitRootLogin yes, and change that to
PermitRootLogin no. Save it, and then restart SSH. On Debian, you type
in /etc/init.d/ssh restart, but on other distros it might be
different. Note that you'll have to be root to edit that file and
restart that service.
