Logging in via ssh as root is a no-no; it's thus disabled by default in Debian (although you can over-ride it by changing the "PermitRootLogin" line in "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" -- but I don't recommend that).
It works for me to login via another user and then to "su - root". I hate to mention the obvious, but you are typing the correct root password, right (no CAPSLOCK, etc)? -- Kent West http://kentwest.blogspot.com <http://kentwest.blogspot.com/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
