Sorry, I do not have the answer. This question might be more successful on the X-Unix list: <http://listserver.themacintoshguy.com/mailman/listinfo/x-unix> 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.
