Please see ,

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=login.access&sektion=5&apropos=0&manpath=FreeBSD+9.0-RELEASE

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=login.conf&sektion=5&apropos=0&manpath=FreeBSD+9.0-RELEASE

and , define remote login capability , otherwise the system will not permit
remote root login because of it has dangerous security vulnerability .

Thank you very much .
