[sentinix-list] Remote Login via SSH

Hello all,
 I'm currently testing Sentinix 0.7 and have encountered a problem. I can't seem to login to the server via ssh as root. 

 Using puTTY I can connect and get prompted for a username "root" and a password "sentinix" (the defualts), it refuses the password and drops the connection. This combination works from the server terminal, but not remotely...does Sentinix allow remote root login or must I make a user account and su once in?

 Any comments are welcome.

  Once I have this straightened out I intend to enable RSA authentication for SSH and will comment on it when it is succesfully completed.

Thanks, 
Michael
