From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130 Description of problem: The default sshd_config file included in the package allows the root user to log in ("PermitRootLogin" is not "no"). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openssh-server-3.5p1-6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to ssh in as root to a machine with a default sshd install Actual Results: The login is accepted. Expected Results: The login should have been denied. Additional info: This appears to also have been the case with various versions of Red Hat in the past. It can be debated whether this actually a bug or not, but for a product that's supposedly secure out of the box, a root ssh login really should be disabled by default.
