SSH question

Hello!

I just installed CentOs with "minimal" install option.


Why SSH is accepting by defalut user root to login?

This is a security vulnerability, it should NOT accept logins from the root account by defalut, only from a regular user and then make a su or sudo su, or am I wrong about this?


Why is SSH service starting up by defalut in the " MINIMAL " install scenario?

P.s. I am concerned as I don't wish my system to be hacked, and I like when things are "secure" by defalut.
