I've enabled remote root logins long ago.. and have had no problems
with it... but today... I started getting this message:

  Received disconnect from 192.168.0.29: 2: Too many authentication
  failures for root

Even when it is the absolute first attempt.

I was't able to discern where this message comes from.  I guess from
one of the ssh configs... but darned if I see it there.

grep -rl 'Too many authentication' /etc   didn't find it either.

Looking at man sshd and man sshd_config... it appears my settings
should be working.

Somehow the OS thinks there have been multiple attempts at root login
that failed...

My logs show no such thing. At least `grep ssh /var/adm/messages'
gets no hits... would that sort of stuff be somewhere else?

Anyone have a guess what might be the problem.

I think if it were a bum setting in sshd_config the message, if any at
all, would not be what I am seeing.
