Description

For example, the SSH server PT has a variable to define the PermitRootLogin setting. It can be "yes", "no", "without-password" or "forced-commands-only".

These values are displayed in a drop down list. I would like to see a field (to the right or below) this drop down list that's updated when the value is changed, and provides details about each value, for example:
  • "yes" -> "root is always allowed to log in using ssh"
  • "no" -> "root is not allowed to log in using ssh"
  • "without-password" -> "password authentication is disabled for root, but root can login using other authentication methods"
  • "forced-commands-only" -> "root login with public key authentication will be allowed, but only if the command option has been specified. All other authentication methods are disabled for root."

This won't be done without a major redesign of the directive form. I'm closing it to merge info into a redesign of directive form.
