Why root is restricted on a per user configuration?

[R. D. <rap...@gm...>]

Hi,

I've set up a per user configuration to restrict one of my user with rssh.

I've set rssh shell to this user and only this one.
I've set the correct options in rssh.conf

This work like a charm.

I can connect to the server with root user (ssh root@server).
But then, I can't ssh other servers from here.
It says:

> This account is restricted by rssh.
> Allowed commands: sftp
>
> If you believe this is in error, please contact your system administrator.

Why root is restricted by rssh inside the server, while I did not
configure that?


Centos 5.6,
openSSH 4.3p2
rssh 2.3.3


Thank you
