--- Comment #19 from Steffen Winterfeldt
Yes, the root password is set, but you can not log into the system as root regardless, because ssh now refuses to allow password based authentication for > root.
That may well be but this is not an installer issue (per se). If the ssh developers decide to disallow root logins per password then this has some far reaching consequences. This also means the usual yast root user dialog is basically moot and needs to be redesigned to take this into account. This is IMO not a bug in the installer but a feature request and that it ends up here is more or less a sign of not-so-optimal PLANNING. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
