Allowing direct root login even with SSH is IMHO stupid...


Please elaborate why is it IYHO stupid.

In environments where more than 1 person has root access, allowing direct
login to root means you can't keep an audit trail of which person logged in.

And if your environment only one person has root access, that's just looking
for a DoS if the one person is hit by a bus.....
