i just got my linux server running, i am able to confirm is up because i can see the default apache page when i go to the ip address with my browser, but when i try to remote access with SSH, i can't login as root, only with my default user. why ssh doesnt allow me to login as root?

by default and for security purposes the root user is disabled. so if you try to login as the root user with your SSH client, the SSH server is disabled.

we dont recommend you enable root access, however, if you still require it for your situation, all you need is to open the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file with this command:

vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

look for this line: PermitRootLogin no

change it to:

PermitRootLogin yes
