ASL Beta 2.0.0 ssh root login

AllStarLink

I downloaded and booted. I got as far as editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config using vi, which worked ( reopened to verify the edit). I changed the ssh port number and “PermitRootLogin Yes”, but the build does not recognize the edited version, insisting on the default parameters.

Thanks,

I’ll have to look into that one. Generally, permitting root login isn’t advised or even necessary because of sudo, but it should be respecting that file. Check in /etc/defaults to see if there’s an entry there for sshd. It might be overriding in there.

And of course if you haven’t already, you must restart SSHD for the changes to take effect, or just reboot the system.

Update: I tested this with the latest beta 3 and it works fine. I changed the port and added PermitRootLogin Yes.

Make sure you run
systemctl restart ssh

After if you didn’t :slight_smile:

Cheers,
Rob
