you really should not.  but if you abosolutely want to, you can modify 
/etc/ssh/sshd_config and add PermitRootLogin Yes, its either commented out 
andn/or set to no, the default.  If this is open to any other traffic except for 
local lan, then just use the better approach....

ssh in and then `su - ` and enter roots password.  of course to do this, you 
must have entered your other user as part of group 'wheel'
