sed -i 's/PermitRootLogin no/PermitRootLogin yes/' /etc/ssh/sshd_configlinux · bash · Advanced
Rewrites the SSH daemon configuration in place to allow direct root logins. It reads like a routine configuration tweak and leaves no new files behind, but it re-opens the remote login path that hardening guides close first.
Signals to notice
- Re-enables direct root SSH login
- In-place edit with no backup
- Weakens a deliberate hardening setting
