having trouble connecting to a ssh connection to a remote computer

[Darrell Shandrow]

Hi Charles,

It is never a good idea to directly allow a root login over any sort of
remote connection, including SSH.  It is better to allow a "regular user"
type login over SSH, then use su for a root login or sudo for the execution
of commands as the root user.
