Hi hope someone can help :]

I've built a wee server and I've just put it in the datacentre, but now 
I can't seem to login via ssh with the root account (Access Denied).  
When I had it locally to me I could ssh in fine, so I'm assuming that 
there is a rule somewhere that dissallows logging in as root from a 
remote location (excluding when the remote machine is on the same ip 
range) is this normal, I know fbsd defaults to something similar, but I 
was unaware that WBEL did too or maybe I'm just entirely confused and 
it's something else :] Also when I su from another user I get incorrect 
password (which I'm positive it isn't)

Any ideas?
