By default ssh does not allow root login, it can be enabled but you should read up on the security implications carefully before enabling it. I would expect console login to work fine. As a general rule it is better to use sudo or su rather than logging in as root, although for a single user system this doesn't really make much difference. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith <steve@sohara.org>
