I have yet to hear of anyone who on purpose can ssh to root if root remote
login is false.
I'm trying to allow that, but can't make it work, i.e., allow ssh to root if
root remote login is false.
Someone else was trying to disallow that, but could not make it work, i.e.,
disallow ssh to root it root remote login is false.
I can use ssh login to user accounts and su to root, but I cannot use ssh to
run commands remotely as root.
Otherwse it works great.
You do have to be sure you are using "secure" settings in your client and
server configs.

Subject: [aix-l] Is ssh good with AIX?
I have these two AIX Boxes, which I would like to be very secure. I was
thinking about stopping inetd and making users Ssh into these boxes. Ssh
encrypts user profile information and it would be a good idea for AIX admins
using root to us Ssh.
How is Ssh working out there for AIX Administrators on RS6000's?
TIA
