I guess I'm confused about running sshd as root.
I have sshd loading via rc.local on a remote machine, and it will not
allow me access. If somebody at the site runs sshd directly from the
server terminal, everything works as it should. The documentation does
warn that sshd should be run as root, but I thought that rc.local did
run such a process as root. Why does one method work, and the other not
work?
AND
If rc.local will not do the trick, what will work so that I don't locked
out whenever the machine is restarted? (I administer it--I hate getting
locked out.) :)
Thanks for any help.
