fact or fancy?

i'd be surprised if allowing remote root logins would create any sort of 
resultant liability issues. in fact, it's probably easier for a cracker to 
gain root once local to the box than it is to do so remotely using a password 
attack. and it's not like they can't do a password attack if they log in as a 
user. 

i'm all for security, but there's enough disinformation out there as it is?
