You are. The at the top of the sshd_config file you have this comment: # The strategy used for options in the default sshd_config shipped with # OpenSSH is to specify options with their default value where # possible, but leave them commented. Uncommented options change a # default value. In other words, the comments document the default. The default is that root logins are permitted. -- Garry T. Williams --- +1 678 656-4579
