I really, *REALLY* HATE lists that are configured such that "reply" only
sends to the poster, not to the list, and you have to hit <reply all> to
get that....

Yes, it wants consistancy, and NO, you don't want that. What that's saying
is that sshd should be configured *not* to allow logging in as root.
That's a BAD idea. Always ssh in as a user, then sudo, or, if you need to
do a number of things, sudo -s (gives you root, will ask for your password
as sudo does, make sure that you have the right in /etc/sudoers... and to
edit that, ALWAYS use visudo, *don't* just vi it; it will check the
syntax, and not allow it to be saved if you have a syntax error, which
would land you in a heap o' trouble if it's broken.)

Yeah, we've run into that here - it's started complaining about that.
