I have a Cron Deamon email alerts that says the following below. How do I fix this.

Warning: The SSH configuration option 'PermitRootLogin' has not been set.
The default value may be 'yes', to allow root access.

But if you really have "root" access (not "admin" or the like) and if you can open a shell (command line) it should be possible.
If you need this user only to avoild using ssh as root just issue:
useradd -g users sobeservices2
passwd sobeservices2
- type a new password when prompted (twice)
You will be requested to change the password when first logging in as sobeservices2
Don't forget to change /etc/ssh/sshd_config ("PermitRootLogin no") and to restart sshd.
