openssh/README.SUSE

This is OpenSSH version 7.2p2 for SLE12

There are following changes in default settings of ssh client and server:

* Accepting and sending of locale environment variables in protocol 2 is
  enabled.

* PAM authentication is enabled.

* root authentiation with password is enabled by default (PermitRootLogin yes).
  NOTE: this has security implications and is only done in order to not change
  behaviour of the server in an update. We strongly suggest setting this option
  either "prohibit-password" or even better to "no" (which disables direct
  remote root login entirely).

For more information on differences in SUSE OpenSSH package see README.FIPS
