In this issue, the editor will bring you an example analysis of the Fedora35 cancellation "allow password to log on to SSH Root" installer option. The article is rich in content and analyzes and describes for you from a professional point of view. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

A proposal by Fedora 35 last week showed that it was suggested to remove the option to "allow password login to the SSH root" in the Fedora Anaconda installer.

According to reports, the Fedora installer provides the option to allow password login to the SSH root directory, which is used to implement password-based login on SSH. Although this is not enabled by default, it is only available as an option for users who want to log in based on a password. However, in Fedora 35, which will be released in the fall, it is suggested that this option be removed from the installer. The basis is that this option is temporary and that the benefit of abandoning this option is that users are encouraged to rely on more secure authentication methods such as SSH keys.

The proposal describes this as: "this change makes Fedora systems installed through Anaconda more secure from remote password guessing attacks on root accounts-because it is no longer possible to configure a system that allows login to root through SSH passwords."

At present, there is a lot of controversy about this proposal, some people do not like this non-default option to be removed, and some people prefer password-based authentication, which can be used in fast and short-lived virtual machines and other environments, where, after all, security is not a big problem, so password-based SSH login is very convenient. We will continue to watch the follow-up reaction of Fedora officials to this proposal.

The above is the example that Xiaobian shared with you that Fedora35 canceled the option of "allow password to login to SSH Root" installer option.
