-   I have set the /etc/ssh/sshd_config for root to access to:

PermitRootLogin without-password

however, after a period of time, I see that it is changed to:

PermitRootLogin yes

What is changing this? Is this the draksec tool? If so, which question?

It would be more intuitive to have a question for ssh root access if this is where it is occurring.

These GUI Tools are ineffective in securing the system. Can we get a desciption of what each question effects?

-   Hello Sir,

Yes, possibly it's draksec, check for Allow remote root login under the
sytem's tab option.

It's supposed to have a description of the options when you hit the help button.

Best Regards

Tiago Souza
