Hm. It seems I was unclear. Trying to fix it (hopefully *not* making it worse): - I do agree that logging in as root remotely can be problematic (especially when root has a weak password). So I think it is a good thing for the admin to be able to disable that. - I think the software forcing the admin to do that would be an antipattern. OpenSSH *doesn't* force the admin to do that, so it *doesn't* follow that antipattern. Cheers -- t
