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."
