I think that is about the password check. Do you have anything in /var/log/secure? That's it.  "Aug 24 15:35:27 warrior sshd[6105]: Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for directory /root" I'm sure that's one of those things that an experienced Linux user would have checked right away.  It seems at some point I had accidentally changed the ownership of the /root directory.  I set those back and all is well once more.  Thanks to all who offered help.
