:why?
:
:from what i can tell you want the default entry changed to accomodate
:your personal installation method?
:
:i dont see a problem with PermitRootLogin no at all. its standard.
:if you want to use keys for root then change it after the installation.
:
:again. maybe im missing the point. but i dont see what your average user
:is going to gain from making a change like this.
:
:jamie.
Huh?
Tell me, Jamie, what effect does changing PermitRootLogin from no to
without-password have on a default installation? And why would be
detrimental to the 'average' user or reduce root security? Think about
