Description Xiami 2015-08-31 08:22:33 UTC

In `man sshd_config`, it says `PermitRootLogin no` is the default. Therefore I left the line `#PermitRootLogin no` unchanged in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

However, I ran `ssh root@gentoo-box` just now and found it succeed with publickey authentication(challengeresponse is also ok).
Then I uncomment `#PermitRootLogin no` in sshd_config and root is no longer permitted to login via ssh.

My sshd_config is exacly as same as the file emerge installed default. The ebuild name is `net-misc/openssh-6.9_p1-r2`.

looks fixed in 7.0

     PermitRootLogin
             Specifies whether root can log in using ssh(1).  The argument must be “yes”, “prohibit-password”, “without-password”, “forced-commands-only”, or “no”.  The default is “prohibit-password”.
