Ports team
I was wondering why you guys left the sshd_config file to
have the following entry 

PermitRootLogin yes

Since this allows for remote root login, imho by default it should be no,
this allows for systems with novice admins with insecure passwords to be
vunerable. Network root login from other services isn't allowd so I think
it shouldn't be allowed under ssh as well.

I never saw a wild thing feel sorry for itself, a small bird will drop
dead, frozen from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.
