Description Jari Aalto 2009-04-05 06:11:55 AEST 
It is desireable to allow root logins from within the local
network, but not from outside.

Please add new option:

PermitRootLoginListenAddress

That would restrict root logins only from specific addresses (CIDR)

Check the sshd_config(5) man page and look for the 'Match' keyword.

Mass move of RESOLVED bugs to CLOSED now that 5.3 is out.
