root can't get ssh access

Hi there

Can anyone help with this, i have been trying to login as root via ssh and i dont have access.

When i try SU i get ::

su: cannot run /root: Permission denied

i have physical access to the machine so i have tried everything, i even went into single user mode and changed the root password, now the strange thing is even from the machine root cant login i have a user that i created that can login but only this user..

Any ideas?

i looked at sshd_config and root access is ON...

anyinsight on this?

Why would root not be allowed acceess when i am physically loggin at the server.

I thought the server may be hacked, but there are no signs of it, i have trip wires in place to let me know if key system files are changed etc...

Thanx
