I used to ssh as root to a FreeBSD box and uses the root password.
Today, I reinstall 4.5-Release and try the same thing:

$ ssh -l root mymachine
otp-md5 100 pl6491 ext
S/Key Password:

I was expecting something like:

$ ssh -l root mymachine
root@mymachine's password: 

I did set PermitRootLogin to yes in file /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Why this
change?

Thanks.
