I can "su -" but ssh root at localhost does not work. ssh asks for the password but does not accept it. I have changed the /etc/ssh/sshd_config "PermitRootLogin yes" with no luck. The rest of the config. is default Please help.

   If you had created a non-root user account during installation then
   root gets defined as a role. So you cannot login as root directly. You
   need to use su.
