Package: openssh-server Version: 1:9.9p1-3 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
Currently, here is what sshd says on my system: $ grep -i root /etc/ssh/sshd_config ; echo "---" ; sshd -V ; sshd -T | grep -i root #PermitRootLogin prohibit-password # the setting of "PermitRootLogin prohibit-password". #ChrootDirectory none --- OpenSSH_9.9p1 Debian-3, OpenSSL 3.4.1 11 Feb 2025 permitrootlogin without-password chrootdirectory none Regarding https://man.openbsd.org/sshd_config#PermitRootLogin, the default is: prohibit-password and not its deprecated alias: without-password Could this be an oversight?
