Re: Review for "PermitRootLogin without-password" change
I am in favour of the change fo new installs, and of asking to do it on
upgrades.
But please be sure to announce the change widely.
It is *very* common in the vps world for new virtuals to come with the
expectation that the users must login the first time as root with a
password.
The companies doing that will need to know that they either have to
start asking for an ssh public key when a customer purchases a new vps
or change their template to bypass debian's new default.
(I presume most of us will prefer the former, but I'm not holding my breath.)
