Not true, by default (hardcoded default) is the permission is granted, so this line commented or uncommented -- it does not make _any_ difference. Please, provide real meaning options, put the option explictly right into config: PermitRootLogin no It is clear, informative, it is safer. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
