Re: [cobalt-security] SFTP on Raq4 as Root?

[Ted Behling <TBehling@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Make sure your /etc/ssh2/sshd2_config file contains the line
"PermitRootLogin yes".  Be VERY careful when allowing root to log in
directly, since that increases your liability to a brute-force password
attack.  I suggest you use both the password and public-key authentication
schemes.
