- why not use root login ? "somebody might get access with your rootpassword " so .. what? .. if they can read my ssh-session they will get my su - password too ok .. say: "use sudo!" .. yes so what? .. an attacker gets the same rights that the user has so basicly: -check the fingerprint of the server that you are connecting to -use private keys to authenticate passwords are local on the machine that you are logging in from (they are used to unlock your private key) if you don't trust that machine-> do not login from there! -you can even have several users with uid 0 each with there own ~/.ssh/authorized_keys you can do accounting this way too!
