I think that was the "solution" Matt tried to avoid. I suppose he does
not seem confident with (automated) root access/logins from other boxes.
I'd like to avoid root access as OpenBSD disables it by default for a
good reason.
some OS do that, but not OpenBSD:
# The strategy used for options in the default sshd_config shipped with
# OpenSSH is to specify options with their default value where
# possible, but leave them commented. Uncommented options change a
# default value.
#PermitRootLogin yes
Would you believe I have been using OpenBSD for years and have *never*
noticed this?
And yes, I did read afterboot once or twice - but clearly not well
enough. (just checked...)
Always thought uncommenting that specific line made root logins
possible. Weird.
Assumption, mother of etc.
Makes me wonder why it is enabled by default though.
