This method normally includes /etc/ssh/sshd_config when it starts the
sshd binary.  The directive you are looking for in the file is probably
"PermitRootLogin yes".  Adding or changing this entry in the sshd_config
file will enable you to log in remotely as the root user.

FYI, this can also been accomplished as "ssh -l root -CAX maroon" or
even as "ssh -CAX root@maroon".

Starting the SSH daemon this way will mostly likely exclude the reading
of the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file, and, as a result, not include the
"PermitRootLogin no" directive that you may have.

Hope this helps,
