I have a pile of solaris 8 machines @ 117000-01 Hardened and running openssh 3.8.1p1 with my /etc/default/login CONSOLE=/dev/console
OpenSSH doesn't read /etc/default/login (nor does Solaris 9 SSH, although Solaris 10 does)
and my sshd_config #PermitRootLogin yes
OK, so it's commented out and thus the default will be in effect.
However i can still ssh in and remotly login directly as root.
So it sounds like the default value for PermitRootLogin is Yes.
Clues guys ?
Put the following in sshd_config and restart sshd : PermitRootLogin No Scott
