Take a look at `man sshd_config`, and in particular the section that
begins:

     PermitRootLogin
                  Specifies whether root can log in using ssh(1).  The
                  argument must be “yes”, “without-password”,
                  “forced-commands-only” or “no”.  The default is “yes”.
