cannot connect the remote host via ssh

Horus1 · 04-19-2019, 04:22 AM

the output of

Code:

grep -i root /etc/ssh/ssh_config

is

Code:

PermitRootLogin yes
# the setting of "PermitRootLogin without-password".

PermitRootLogin yes needs to be in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. /etc/ssh/ssh_config is the client configuration.

PermitRootLogin yes is already in /etc/ssh/sshd_config

PermitRootLogin yes
StrictModes yes

The same issue still exists, proposals to resolve.

Thanks to all, I was changed the root password and I'm able to connect the remote host via ssh.

Remember that it is better practice to use keys and to turn off password authentication, especially for direct root acccess.

Code:

PermitRootLogin forced-commands-only

Or at least,

Code:

PermitRootLogin prohibit-password

See "man sshd_config"

Even better would be to work out a process by which you avoid logging in directly as root.
