from 'man sshd_config'
PermitRootLogin
Specifies whether root can log in using ssh(1). The
argument must be ``yes'', ``without-password'',
``forced-commands-only'', or ``no''.
The default is ``yes''.
If this option is set to ``without-password'', password
authentication is disabled for root.
Becki, Note that setting this to "without-password" is probably
a security violation at Ford, so if you want to keep working
at Ford, then don't use it. It's just asking for trouble.
If this option is set to ``forced-commands-only'', root
login with public key authentication will be allowed, but only if the
command
option has been specified (which may be useful for taking
remote backups even if root login is normally not allowed). All other
authenti-
cation methods are disabled for root.
If this option is set to ``no'', root is not allowed to log
in.
