[rhelv6-list] SSHD root login

[Alejandra Ramirez]

I believe Krzysztof doesn't have problem with the root login, he wanted 
only remark that although the system permit the root login, it says 
"access denied".

Any way, I have some RHELv6.1 linux systems with the root access 
permited but I don't obtain the Krzysztof  message.

Best regards,
