By default the root ssh is disabled. If a dedicated server x somewhere far far away doesn't have root ssh enabled the admin is pretty much screwed if they hack his user account and change the user password right ?
So is it not better to enable it by default ? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Every unix box has a root account. Not every unix box has a jblogs account. Lets take the example of a brute-force attempt. The first thing I would do would be to attack roots password. I know the account exists. Might as well go for the big prize first.
So having a root account enabled is definetly a bad thing.
