Bug ID: 2354
Summary: please document that PermitRootLogin really checks for
uid=0
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 6.7p1
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: Documentation
Assignee: unassigned-b...@mindrot.org
Reporter: cales...@scientia.net
Hey.
I just found out that PermitRootLogin has the feature of really
checking for UID=0 and not for the username "root"
I.e. it makes sense to have something like:
Match user toor
PermitRootLogin no
Which would allow "root=0" to log in, but not e.g. the "toor=0" user to
log in, if it is an alternative root user.
:) nice feature! (bad name, though ^^)
Cheers,
Chris.
