# Login to your server and su to root..

2. cd /root

3. pico .bashrc

4. Scroll to the end of the file then add the following:
echo 'ALERT - Root Shell Access (YourserverName) on:' `date` `who` | mail -s "Alert: Root Access from `who | cut -d"(" -f2 | cut -d")" -f1`" you@yourdomain.com

Replace YourServerName with the handle for your actual server

Now logout of SSH, close the connection and log back in! You should receive an email address of the root login alert a few minutes afterwards.
