RE: Re[2]: [cobalt-users] URGENT: Cannot su - while being admin

["Chris Demain" <cdemain@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Of course this BIGGEST problem with this is lazy admins with
/root/.ssh/authorized_keys which allows authenticated access without a
password.  Red Hat Software was bitten by this not too long ago.  Permitting
Root Login is best reserved for situations when you need to do something
remotely as root and can't su ... eg:
rsync -e ssh root@host:/blah/blah/ .
You wouldn't be able to su here ... so allow root login, do the rsync, and
turn off root login.
