'PermitRootLogin no' is the new default for the OpenSSH port.

Description

'PermitRootLogin no' is the new default for the OpenSSH port.
This now matches the PermitRootLogin configuration of OpenSSH in
the base system. Please be aware of this when upgrading your
OpenSSH port, and if truly necessary, re-enable remote root login
by readjusting this option in your sshd_config.

Users are encouraged to create single-purpose users with ssh keys
and very narrowly defined sudo privileges instead of using root
for automated tasks.

  • PKGNAMESUFFIX for GSSAPI set.
  • Merged some patches from current to improve PAM.
  • Fix BATCH=yes for bento.
