man sshd_config
PermitRootLogin
Specifies whether root can login using ssh(1). The argument must be
``yes'', ``without-password'', ``forced-commands-only'' or ``no''. The
default is ``yes''.
If this option is set to ``without-password'' password authentication is
disabled for root. Note that other authentication methods (e.g.,
keyboard-interactive/PAM) may still allow root to login using a password.
If this option is set to ``forced-commands-only'' root login with public
key authentication will be allowed, but only if the command option has
been specified (which may be useful for taking remote backups even if
root login is normally not allowed). All other authentication methods
are disabled for root.
If this option is set to ``no'' root is not allowed to login.
Best regards
Sylvester Lykkehus
