post install passwd for root@ssh doesn't work

I've gave a password after install,
if I put it for ssh than the machine doesn't accept it although I check the
sshd_conf for root access. I  booted from install stick and arch-chroot again into the system to make a passwd again.

Doesn't help everything, do you have an idea whats happend

login as nonroot works fine...!

Re: post install passwd for root@ssh doesn't work

Does the root password work if you are at the console?

Re: post install passwd for root@ssh doesn't work

That output looks fine, just an incorrect password.

Is your keymap set up correctly when you boot the installation media? You may not be setting the root password to what you think.

Re: post install passwd for root@ssh doesn't work

Openssh 7.0p1 has changed the default for PermitRootLogin option from "yes" to "prohibit-password".

After openssh upgrade I couldn't login to my machine as root with password anymore, so I found this.

I was lucky enough to have a second super user account that I could use to change the openssh configuration. Someone may have not been so lucky and could have been screwed with this and would need to use the recovery CD, or worse, rebuild a VM.

Since I'm being ignored on IRC with warnings about this, I will write here: this should be included on the main page in the news about the openssh upgrade.

It is in the changelog which is linked to from the news item.

Openssh 7.0p1 has changed the default for PermitRootLogin option from "yes" to "prohibit-password".

I changed it to 'yes' for try, changes nothing... =/
