Control: reassign -1 debian-installer 20190702 Hi, Илья Пащук <ilusha.paschuk@gmail.com> (2020-03-20): > when I install debian without creating a regular user, only with root, and > check "ssh server" in software list, the PermitRootLogin option in sshd > configs are not enabled automaticly, so there are no ways to connect to the > installed system, this is especially important in headless installations. > > I think that the installer in sutch situations should enable this option by > default or prompt about that because it can be very important in some > scenarios. Either you're installing while being in front of the machine and you can tweak if afterwards as you see fit to allow incoming connections in the way you prefer; or you're installing remotely with some provisioning tool that can be configured to deploy the desired configuration. The fact you're not asking the installer to create an unprivileged user doesn't strike me as sufficient grounds to automatically allow root access via password. Please note that you're still able to log in with a passphrase instead, which is the suggested way to address the “logging as root” problem (rather than going back to “PermitRootLogin yes” that used to be the default). Leaving this bug report open anyway, in case others want to comment on this.
