The thing is that while I can ssh from pyrophore to paradoxa as root,
the root window gets this message _before_ I try a password:

paradoxa# Jan 15 00:27:33 paradoxa sshd[21867]: Denied connection for
rebecca from ogoense.net [207.8.130.194] port 3056. 
Jan 15 00:27:33 paradoxa sshd[21867]: auth_set_user: illegal user
rebecca

I'm consoled in as rebecca -- would that cause any problems?
