To add to this it asks you if you wish to permit root login over SSH, suggest that you say no, and tells you the default is no. So you had to implicitly tell it root logon was allowed at install, or explicitly edit the config file to allow for root logon. I don't know if there is much else we could change to help protect users from themselves. -- Jason Barbier [email protected]
