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
