Does your server allow root access without authentication?

You surely do have a working backup system and - even better - you keep track of configuration changes by using some version control system like git and the like.

rootless access is not necessary to log in to perform this procedure, but I found the idea of ​​version control interesting so I can follow if there is any change
thanks!
