[gentoo-server] Opinion: ssh to root vs sudo

[Peter Abrahamsen]

Hi list,

I'm looking for some opinions for a security decision. I need to
enable remote administrative access to critical systems living about
3-4 hours from me and in another country. The systems will be running
LAMP, more or less.

Which is a better idea, allowing key-only root access, or ssh'ing in
as myself and running su/sudo/whatever? Either way, I'll set up
iptables so that connection attempts from anywhere other than my
office are -j DROP'ed.

Thanks,

Peter
