Sorry, I do not have the answer. This question might be more successful on
the X-Unix list:

I guess that if you have root disabled, which seems common advice anyway and
is also Apple's default, the issue of remote login via SSH is pointless
anyway.

Is there a reason why you have root enabled? I have yet to find a situation
where "sudo bash" or using Chalaut
<http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/20052> would not escalate my
privileges sufficiently.
