Hey Rob, I'm gonna have to disagree with you here. Advising Kin to turn on PermitRootLogin is not a good idea. Kin, you can su to Root once you have logged in via a permitted user. Allowing root login via SSH is frowned upon as a security risk. If you are going to do this, then I would suggest you look at certificate based authentication instead of username/password authentication.
