How do I enable root login to an Ubuntu Server 12.04?
That is, to be able to ssh as root. I can only login now as a regular user.
Thanks

Make sure you have set a root password (sudo su passwd)
Depending how your ssh is installed, you usually need to edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and change “PermitRootLogin no” to “PermitRootLogin yes”
