It may have... but it was still possible to have root as an account
and to ssh to root if you set it up in /etc/sshd_config...  I've been
doing it since 2008.11 b101

It's only between 118 and 124 that things got more complicated... bringing
Pam in as enforcer I guess.  But that too can be circumvented.

I just don't get why devs are so hell bent on crippling root account.
Its been around many many yrs.
