[rpifan42]

As described in the following topics root login via SSH is due to a changed OpenSSH configuration not possible anymore.

To enable root login via SSH /etc/ssh/sshd_config has to be adjusted.

In the installation instructions for Raspberry Pi http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv6/raspberry-pi this possible problem is not yet described. I spent some time trying to login as root until I found the cause. (I am a relatively new archlinux user.)

I would suggest to update the installation instructions to point that problem out. Is that possible?
I assume that this also applies to the instructions for Raspberry Pi 2.

What are possible workarounds, especially in the case of the initial setup of the system?
I plugged the SD-Card in my Desktop and edited /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

Thanks a lot.

alarm/alarm should be present on all officially hosted/released system tarballs. The official instructions for the original Pi and Pi 2 are up to date.
