Thank you.  That led me to know that my host.allow file wasn't right.  
Fixed that.  Now failing when keyboard-interactive packet is sent.  
Thinking it's the PermitRootLogin yes problem.  Have created a 
sshd_config file set to yes and used the -f /path/to/file switch when 
starting sshd.  Have also tried using -o 'PermitRootLogin yes' when 
starting.  Still not

Thanks for your help.
