when i have set rlogin=false in root's stanza then it is ignored when I have PermitRootLogin=yes in sshd_config - root can login.

Is it a bug or feature?


 
I think ssh will bypass AIX login checks if you set UseLogin to no.
 
I call it a bug. I'm running 3.8.1 and even if PermitRootLogin=yes it won't allow root to login directly. This was the first version I saw that did this. I didn't know 4.1 allowed this again. Thanks for the input.

I guess the safe play is to set PermitRootLogin=no, stop and start the daemons and be done with it.
 
3.8.1 has a patch for PermitRootLogin=yes on the sourceforge site. (not well documented on the site - I had to dig for it)

I've logged a bug for the rlogin=false problem on 4.1.
So I'm staying on 3.8.1 for now.
