How to enable Root over SSH?

Postby Z6xPRGjTj6Po » Sun Aug 23, 2015 5:57 pm

Sorry for the dumb question, but I know OpenSSH updated and doesn't allow Root over SSH by default.

I've read the announcement:
viewtopic.php?f=57&t=9158#p48033

The solution is:
"A quick edit of /etc/ssh/sshd_config puts things back as they were."

But, can someone please tell me how to do this from the alarm:alarm account?

I'm a linux noob.

Login with alarm:alarm, then "su root", password is root

Using the root account by default as your daily driver is insanely bad practice, just so you know.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'L')ogin with alarm:alarm, then "su root", password is root


Thank you so much! I was searching everywhere and couldn't find it. And I've only been using Linux regularly for about a month now.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'U')sing the root account by default as your daily driver is insanely bad practice, just so you know.


I wasn't planning on it, just needed to run pacman, which wouldn't run under alarm.
