[SOLVED] root password on Beta 2

[mk01]

just as general understanding of this problem: it is caused by change of sshd policy (sshd from version X doesn't provide root access via password entry - by default configuration. only allowed is access by generated (rsa) key. normally updates do not alter user modified config files but this option was forced by one of the openssh updates).

what xbian-config is doing is that as one action with passwd change it also FORCES sshd to allow again password root access.
