Puppet is set up, takes care of key control and ensuring /etc/ssh/sshd_config contains "PermitRootLogin without-password" so only keys will get you in. Keeps my myriad servers running smoothly. I have one professor that likes to remove my key and change sshd_config to PermitRootLogin no. Thinks its more secure that way (moron). Puppet reverts the change within 30 minutes.</div><div><br></div><div>Ciao,</div><div><br></div><div>David-</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 4, 2016 at 11:39 AM, Leon Goldstein via Linux-users <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:linux-users@linux-sxs.org" target="_blank">linux-users@linux-sxs.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

Wow! Great to hear from you again, David. BTW I still have my copy
of <i>Using Caldera Open Linux</i> you coauthored.<br>
<br>
Is it just me, or does anyone else find having to use sudo, instead
of logging in as root user, a PITA?<div><div class="h5"><br>

</span>Opensuse here mostly, but checking out a few other

what is now.<br>
