Hi Krzysztof, The default is "PermitRootLogin yes" as per man page. It is confusing a little bit though in my opinion as it is commented out in a default sshd_config file. That means you need to specifically set it to "no" and restart sshd if you want to disallow root access. I logged in as root with no problem to my fresh RHEL6.1. After adding PermitRootLogin no and restarting sshd it happily returns Permission denied, please try again. :)
