need root access, you should use a staff account in the wheel group to
remotely log into the machine, then su to root.
or set
PermitRootLogin yes
in sshd_conf
much easier.
The fact that remote direct root login is disabled is a security feature,
meant to prevent things like brute-force attacks on root over the
network. It's a bad idea to change that behavior, in general. Back when
just another stupid myth. simply use good passwords.
having to log through 2 accounts doesn't increase security. actually
increases mess.
