If it happens -before- getting the login prompt, it is *NOT* a PermitRootLogin
isssue. If you get the login prompt, put in 'root', and are -then- cut off
it is a root login issue.
Immediate connect and disconnect points to an issue with the IP address
you're connecting from -- as sshd (or possibly tcpwrapper) sees it, that is.
could be "no reverse-DNS", or inconsistent forward/reverse. Could be that
the address/domain is blocked in /etc/hosts.{deny,allow}
