Bug#756065: installation-guide: (D.3.7) For jessie ssh root login with password is by default impossible



Package: installation-guide
Severity: minor

In section D.3.7 (debootstrap install, remote access via ssh)
it would be worthwhile mentioning that the default setting
for sshd now is

PermitRootLogin without-password

so that a remote root with password is impossible.

Fix:

Advise to either use a less privileged account
or use key-based authentication.
