SSHD Help?

[Huy Ton That]

I think somethings wrong because even when I log on root locally on the box
I get permission denied.  This is the correct password because I am logging
in as root when the machine boots up.  I'm aware of the issues as logging in
as root but it's just a machine I am using to break over and over again for
learning purposes.
