True!
What you actually should be doing is log in as some user (who has
restricted account) and then "su".
i thought that sshd by default does not permit root loging?
We often connect from remote machines to the server to administer the system,
make changes etc. If root can not log in on sshd then how do we do this ?
For different distros, default sshd options may vary depending on how it
was compiled and packaged. But you can prohibit root logins by
specifying option in /etc/sshd/sshd_config
------ sshd_config (or whatever sshd config file is) ------
PermitRootLogin no
------ ------
Usually root login is allowed using sshd.
