How can I ssh to my machine as root?

[linuxMaestro]

I just installed mandrake 9.2 I can ssh to other machines but from other machines I cannot ssh to my machine as root.

How can I allow root ssh logins?

Set 'PermitRootLogin' in your sshd_config file.

Learn about using "sudo" and NEVER login to a machine as root for any reason!!!!

Thedaver provided you valuable advise.

never EVER login (telnet, ftp, ssh etc) as root.

Login as a users then expand your privalages by using su (Super User) which will give you the same abilities as 'root'
