I know it is not secure.

I have soon set "PermitRootLogin yes" and restarted. In fact
PermitRootLogin was not soon present in my ssh_config file.

Thank you.


I think that ought to be enough, but clearly it isn't. It's a long time
since I used passwords in ssh.

One thing: is that a typo? The file you should have modified is
sshd_config, ssh_config is for connections from that machine to others.


Thank you very much...
It is not a typo : it is my mistake and the problem I have been looking 
from months
