Hi, today I found that different Linux distributions have various policies regarding allowing remote root access. For example, The Redhat/Fedora crowd seems to enable this on default installs, but the Debian/Ubuntu don't, they recommend sudo.
I googled around but could not find why fedora allows it, and the debian people just seem to have one reason: 'allowing remote root access is bad, everybody knows that'. Suppose I ensure that root has a very strong password, then does it really matter either way? Thanks, Ron
