Fedora dropping remote root access from installer |
 |
The Fedora team is planning to drop an installer option which would allow users to access the Fedora root account remotely through password authentication. "Since 2019 the Anaconda installer GUI hosted an option called "Allow SSH root login with password", that made it possible to enable password based root logins over SSH on the installed system. This was always meant as a temporary option to help users transition to either using key authentication or normal users with admin privileges. And after two years of transition period it is now time to drop the option from the GUI." The history behind this option and the reasons for its removal in Fedora 35 are presented in a change proposal.
