Description Vieri 2016-02-11 07:59:49 UTC

The latest Gentoo *minimal* installation iso images are shipped with the following message in /etc/motd:

To start an ssh server on this system, type "/etc/init.d/sshd start".  If you
need to log in remotely as root, type "passwd root" to reset root's password
to a known value.

However, current sshd daemons do NOT allow root logins unless PermitRootLogin is set in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

So the motd in the Gentoo iso confuses the user. A quick fix would be to add 'PermitRootLogin yes' in the image.
