This is not true. Just add

to /etc/ssh/sshd_conf. You can also define access on per user basis as to configure many other parameters. As OpenSSH used by REDHAT ENTERPRISE LINUX, CentOS and many other servers, driving more than 50% of the WEB applications worldwide I do not expect any serios security issues with it.

Lets keep the openssh discussion in its original thread. I have posted a follow-up there that may be helpful http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=4471.0
alu:
ok, i replied on the openssh thread; by the way, i am not criticizing openssh, i just say that the tcz extension does not seem to behave as it should; so try to disable the root login in sshd_config file, and try to login as root again; i can login in as root in my server even if i disable the root login in the sshd_config file, i.e. turn it to ´no´ (and comment that line out).

Maybe the solution would be to move to a newer kernel. Starting from 2.6.30 (or so), the kernel image ("bzImage") can be LZMA-compressed, and so can the initram filesystem ("tinycore.gz," which would then become "tinycore.lzm"). It's a kernel configuration option, no third-party tools such as UPX are needed. Other advantages: the testing is/has been done by the larger Linux community (beyond TinyCore); and: there is an established trouble-shooting team, namely the kernel guys :-)
roberts:
lzma makes the system boot too slow. We have tried it.
I know many are rich and can afford powerful machines, but not I and likely many others.
