I was asked this during the run your own server install and set up. I believe this box was unchecked during an install.  Again I'm sorry about the noob question and problems.  New to a lot of this but I'd like be become a part of all this.  I see a lot fun interesting things other severs have done and I'd like to be part of this great community.   So thank you for the help upto this point.

 The part of the install that you check/uncheck is remote root access - which should be disabled.
You create a separate user for that function.
