Ask HN: pros+cons of private key root ssh logins

4 pointsby mooism215 yıl önce0 comments

What are the security pros and cons of

(a) disallowing root logins over ssh; requiring the use of su or sudo to acquire root privileges

(b) not installing su or sudo; allowing root to login over ssh by private key only; that private key not being held indefinitely in a ssh agent but loaded temporarily when needed

?
