In the /etc/ssh/sshd_config (atleast on my system), there should be an entry for this: PermitRootLogin. Change this from no to yes and you have your root login. Suggest not doing this though.

After restarting the ssh server, of course. Smilie

Code:
strings /usr/lib/ssh/sshd|grep restart

so the command for restart should be "/usr/lib/ssh/sshd restart" or at least on my t1000 box.

On Solaris 10 I used the following to restart the service:
Code:
svcadm restart ssh
