does this mean you *can* ssh as root? or does it mean you can't ssh in
at all?

i had a similar problem for a while with unstable. ssh was broken and
wouldn't even start. check to see if your sshd is running. if it is, i
would check the sshd_config file. i'm not sure what dist you are using,
but in debian, it installs in /etc/ssh. do you log in using passwords
or rsa? if rsa, i would check your authorized_keys file in ~/.ssh. i
would also look at /var/log/auth.log to see if you see ssh logins being
rejected. oh, check hosts.deny and hosts.allow in /etc to see if your
client machine is being filtered.
