Cannot login as root in FreeBSD

In FreeBSD servers direct ssh root login is disabled by default settings. You need to enable the root access manually by doing the following.

# vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Find out the following parameter :

PermitRootLogin no

Change it to :

PermitRootLogin yes

After you do the changes, save and exit. Then restart sshd.

# /etc/rc.d/sshd restart
