I can login without a problem via the terminal and I'm able to su from a remote ssh window, but just not log into root directly via ssh. Here's some log entries... Jul 11 13:24:02 tantalum login: login on ttyv0 as root Jul 11 13:24:02 tantalum login: ROOT LOGIN (root) ON ttyv0 [Works fine from the console] Jul 11 13:24:52 tantalum su: mark to root on /dev/ttyp0 [Able to su remotely] Jul 11 13:27:24 tantalum sshd[219]: Failed password for root from 192.168.1.100 port 2941 ssh2 [Yet it won't let me ssh in as root] Very lastly, I'm running 4.6-STABLE with OpenSSH-3.4_4.
