Bug#452035: Please reconsider this issue



https://etbe.coker.com.au/2018/03/05/compromised-guest-account/

I just had one of my systems compromised.  While I did stuff up, if the 
default had been to have AllowUsers I would have set it to only allow desired 
ssh users and everything would have been fine.

I suggest that the default configuration should only allow root logins (which 
by default means public key access as the default is to not allow root login 
with password).  That gives the minimal useful functionality and it's not 
difficult to figure out which field to edit to add more users if desired.
