Package: openssh-server Version: 1:4.3p2-9 Severity: important "PermitRootLogin yes" is the default setting in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. it is considered unwise to allow remote root logins. hence, the default should be the safer "PermitRootLogin no" setting, and it should be up to the user to change this if they feel comfortable with the more lax option.
