Thanks g!

The actual line had PermitRootLogin Yes commented out! I removed the comment and all is well in Fedora 19.

I will try this later on Fedora 20 and see if it works there also. If so I will upgrade the whole place to 20 sometime this month.

Thanks Again g.

I have searched everywhere I can think of and cannot find a way to
allow root to login as the easy to fix block in gdm seems to be
gone.

Any ideas?

not sure, as i am not using f20.

so check /etc/ssh/sshd_config, look for line

  DenyUsers root

and/or

  PermitRootLogin no

to allow root, remove 'root' from "DenyUsers" and/or change "PermitRootLogin"
to 'yes'.

restart sshd with

  /etc/init.d/sshd restart


hth.
