If you wish to enable root logins via ssh edit the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config and change the line PermitRootLogin no to PermitRootLogin yes I would recommend leaving this as no, creating a user account and su 'ing to root when you need too, but that's just me.

It compiled cleanly, and I tried to ssh to the machine it was running on. When it came to the password, I entered root's password, and it said password denied. I tried another and got the same result. I tried another ssh to another box that I installed ssh on, same result. I figured out that openssh was part of the base so I uninstalled openssh and restarted the daemon. I got an error stating the the RSA key was changed. So I deleted /root/.ssh/known_hosts, and I came upon entering the password, and Im still having problems like how I described above. I looked through the list and didn't come across anything. What is been done wrong.
