SSH as Root

I have Nagios XI installed on Debian version 9. I know it goes against best practices but when I ssh into my XI machine I’d like to be able to log in as root. Does anybody know what I need to do to make that possible?

sudo grep -i root /etc/ssh/sshd_config | grep -v ^#
PermitRootLogin no

Hi mister_monitor,

I think gormank intended to say

Code: Select all

PermitRootLogin yes
Also be sure to restart your ssh service.

If you have any other questions feel free to reach out! :)

Thanks!
