SSH not allowing root access

[bcascott]

We have numerous systems set up with SSH and have had no problem logging into systems as ROOT until recently. Some systems, even though /etc/default/login -> CONSOLE is set up to allow for ROOT login, don't allow root logins. Once the password is entered it returns back to the password prompt i.e.

# ssh -l root falcon
root@falcon's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
root@falcon's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
root@falcon's password:

Also, on one system I get the following when I try to ssh to the system as root.

Received disconnect from 10.85.45.116: ROOT LOGIN REFUSED FROM beam.wellsfargo.com

Not sure what that is about.

Hi,

have you check your sshd_config file. by default no root user allow to connect remotely.
