He can login as root without any issues, it's just that when he does, the box loses it's default route. I'd suggest that there was something else at play - script being run somewhere on login. sshd doesn't fiddle with the routing tables, neither does sshd run scripts that I'm aware of. Start by looking at /root/.profile .bashrc, .anything else. /etc/profile, /etc/bash.bashrc ... But who knows what else might be lurking there - selinux? > They also stress this is a bad idea, just as Grant has. It is better > to connect then sudo. To each their own. I have many instances when I login as root using ssh where it's appropriate.
