Hi All,
While testing another patch, I found that I could not longer log in as
root, even if PermitRootLogin was yes. It seems to be the following
code in auth_password:
$ cvs diff -r1.48 -r1.49 auth-passwd.c
[snip]
#ifndef HAVE_CYGWIN
- if (pw->pw_uid == 0 && options.permit_root_login != PERMIT_YES)
+ if (pw->pw_uid == 0 && options.permit_root_login !=
PERMIT_NO_PASSWD)
return 0;
#endif
[snip]
Was this intentional?
-Daz.

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
