Grub install problem

[Moriah]

OK, now for another security police problem.

I need to be able to login as root using ssh, and I need to be able to redirect ports so I can securely tunnel vnc over ssh.

I know how to edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config, assuming it hasn't changed, but how do I allow ssh logins to root?

Remember, these machines are all running behind linux iptables firewall machines and only have nat access to the internet, so they are not directly reachable from the internet. You first have to pierce a few firewalls.

According to the documentation, by default, root is permitted to log in over ssh. I don't think Gentoo changes this, so this should work once you put the public key in place. If it is not working for you, check that the permissions on ~root, ~root/.ssh, and ~root/.ssh/authorized_keys are strict enough.

Got it fixed. Just had to edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config appropriately.

Thanks everyone for all the help. Now to clone this machine 4 more times, then customize each one for its destined role...
