The LorD,

It appears you allow root shell logins. That's quite insecure.

You should never allow root shell logins.

But of course then you'll have to keep good track of both your admin and root passwords.

Hey Jeff ! i allow root login for me !

Unsecure is when you have no good settings, easy password aso...

Come and try to hack me ;)

There are lot of thing more "unsecure" like security holes aso...

Your decision.

I believe a single-step root login to be insecure.

A lot of people agree with me.

btw, I also use very secure passwords.

I know everyone has there own opinion but I can't see how it is unsecure if sshd access is only allowed for vertain ips in the hosts.deny/hosts.allow files.

Surely having in hosts.deny sshd: all and in hosts.allow the ips that can access ssh then that would be more secure then allowing ssh access to anyone but just root access turned off?

Thanks,
Grant
 
That adds a great level of security. Perhaps too much; there are many circumstances under which you might unavoidably have to use a different IP# to contact a server.

Jeff
 
Even if my IP changes then I can just ask another staff member to change my ip in hosts.allow file, or even use webmin to edit it on the rsync server and then all our boxes will update with the new ip that night.
