RE: [cobalt-security] SSH Login as Root?



All down to the conf

Check /etc/ssh/sshd_config

PermitRootLogin NO  or YES

Then

/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd restart

Will fix it either way,

The 550 did, but the recent 550 patch turned it off as default,

Iirc the pkgmaster ssh's always did,  as well as allowing protacol1
fallback (which I always disable)

enjoy

Does SSH allow root to login?
I was under the impression that it did not.
My 550 does not allow root to login via SSH, but the RaQ3 and 4's do.

Have I been hacked?

If so, pointer to fix please.

Thanks in advance.

Chad
