I have enabled sshd on both of them, generated keys and connected back and forth as an ordinary user using ssh from the command line. However when I do the same for root, ssh just won't accept the password for root, even though it accpets my ordinary-user password. I've read the man pages and don't see why it is doing this. Any suggestions would be welcome. A tutorial or how-to for ssh (in more detail than the how-to for committers) would be great, if anyone knows of one.
