It should. But even recent distros like RHEL5 shipped sshd_config with 'PermitRootLogin yes', which for some unfathomable reason is the default set by the OpenSSH project. I just checked the source code for OpenSSH 5.0p1, which is the most recent stable release I could find, and 'PermitRootLogin yes' is still the default in sshd_config. http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/openssh/portable/openssh-5.0p1.tar.gz alex --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
