ssh problem with passwd on SUSE 9.0

I assume sshd works in general for SUSE 9.0? I have just tried to use the ssh daemon for the first time and it is not working for me. In /var/log/messages I'm getting: "Dec 29 14:23:23 david sshd[20290]: Failed password for root from::ffff:10.0.1.100 port 1995" What else should I check? FYI: With both boxes I can connect as a normal user via the console and sux to root. No problems, so I know I have the passwords right. Thanks Greg -- Greg Freemyer
