How is logging into ssh (sshd) AS root more secure than using sudo? I honestly don’t even know how dangerous that is because I’ve always been told to never allow it. I see here thought goes into preventing that for a remote user, so I’m not talking about that aspect of security here.
Maybe it has to do with #3 in the sudo limitations — I certainly don’t see any benefits vis-a-vis #1.
I totally get that this is an experiment, but I suspect it is more vulnerable than using sudo, not less (the open socket proxy looks interestingly vulnerable to a man in the middle attack).
Having said all that, I did learn some tricks old tools are capable of, so kudos for showing me something new.
