I believe Krzysztof doesn't have problem with the root login, he wanted only remark that although the system permit the root login, it says "access denied".

Any way, I have some RHELv6.1 linux systems with the root access permited but I don't obtain the Krzysztof message.

Best regards,

Hi Krzysztof,

The default is "PermitRootLogin yes" as per man page. It is confusing a little bit though in my opinion as it is commented out in a default sshd_config file. That means you need to specifically set it to "no" and restart sshd if you want to disallow root access. I logged in as root with no problem to my fresh RHEL6.1. After adding PermitRootLogin no and restarting sshd it happily returns Permission denied, please try again. :)

Regards,
Ges

    Welcome,

    on RHEL 6.1 and 6.2 beta I can see quite funny thing ...

    ssh root@machine_IP
    ....

    login as: root
    Access denied
    root@machine_IP's password:


    First is displayed "Access denied" and then suddenly password
    prompt appears ... and you can login without any problem ;)
    Is it just in my case?

    In sshd_config file I have:
    [....]
    # Authentication:

    #LoginGraceTime 2m
    #PermitRootLogin yes
    #StrictModes yes
    #MaxAuthTries 6
    #MaxSessions 10
    [,...]
    UsePAM yes
    [...]
