This is a bit of a brainstorm idea, but for securing an SSH server, a couple of basic recommendations are to disable direct root logins and enable public key authentication. However if Virtualmin is installed on the server, users (and root) can still log into it using regular passwords.

Of course, this would only work if the following conditions are met:
