As of 1.6 (actually some time before 1.6 but I forget exactly when) root
logins via ssh are not permitted. If you want to enable them you can add
this line to your /etc/sshd.conf:

PermitRootLogin         yes

but it is NOT recommended. The reason this has been changed is because there
is no reason you shouldn't be logging in as a regular user who's in the
wheel group and then su'ing to root when needed.
