well - no I believe OpenSSH is set to deny root remote login. Even more, as this is an Ubuntu box, I am not sure what the root password is - I have only ever sudo'ed
I think I will have to sit down at the console to see for certain, but there is nothing in Webmin's User and Groups module that leads me to believe I should need a new password - and the other server I stood up the same day (back on '07) hasn't complained about anything. I think it is something deeper - with PAM or something? not clear what PAM does exactly, though, so not sure there... --Michael T.
