SSHD will not allow you to log in as root (for security reasons). There
may be a way to change it, but I don't reccomend it. Configure a user
account to be able to use the su command or install sudo, then log in
remotely as a user then su or sudo for administrative tasks.

I am sure I am lacking the technical knowledge to get this running but. I
setup (more like started) the sshd daemon. Now I have this system setup at
home and am just using it for experimenting. When I try to SSH into it, it
queries me for my user name, in which case I am logging in as root. I key
in roots password (is this password the same as the main root password?) and
it returns permission denied, please try again.
I'm guessing I am not asking the right questions but I was under the
assumption that the password would be the same as root or whatever user I'm
trying to login? Any tutorials? I'm going crazy :(.
