There are far better and less problematic ways to increase the security
of a system.  If you haven't already look at man 7 security.

Disable SSH root login and turn off telnet to remove the ability of a
remote root login at the very least.

Sorry if this might sound crazy, but is there anyway to rename root
account
to something else for extra security?
Thank you
