Do you use the default configuration by sshd on your freebsd box?
Generally I use Putty to connect from Win to any SSHD
(http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/). Also PermitRootLogin
must be set to "YES" in the sshd_config. If you want to change to
SuperUser with su, the currently user must be in gid 'wheel'.
