SSHD Help?

[John Cruz]

SSHD will not allow you to log in as root (for security reasons). There 
may be a way to change it, but I don't reccomend it. Configure a user 
account to be able to use the su command or install sudo, then log in 
remotely as a user then su or sudo for administrative tasks.
