RE: SSHD Config Question

Not that I am aware of, but instead of allowing root to login directly
with key exchange, why don't you setup a normal user and grant this user
sudo rights?  It is always better to perform all administrative tasks
through sudo, so that the administrative actions can be logged, and so
that the root permissions are only granted in short increments of
time... Only while the specific admin task is performed.

I do know that the commecrial SSH product does have user control that
might allow the type of granularity in login controls that you are
looking for.

A side note:  if you use a regular user account, you can setup the user
account as a locked account, then no password authentication would allow
the user to login, yet the key exchange would work due to the way in
which openssh works in authenticating users....

Subject: SSHD Config Question

I've been looking through my sshd config file and what I want to do is
like so:

root: login directly with key exchange

all other valid users: login with password or key exchange.

Is this possible?

Thanks,
Angelo
