Okay. But does enabling root login offer any significant benefit in that? IOW, if it's disabled by default, would it cause any significant inconvenience/troubles?? If not, it better be disabled by default.
I think it's a valid use case, but rather poorly supported at the moment. For example, there should be completely seemless SSH login from virt-manager for user-manageable virtual machines (both as root and the user).
My point is that once we address this (most likely through some configuration generation during VM setup), we can also switch PermitRootLogin on.
You mean off? Or that we disable it by default and enable it while setting up a new VM?
