possiblity one - remote root login via ssh is denied (by config)(a damn 
*good* idea! ...always log in as a regular user and then su to root, 
makes for much better security) - the command would be "ssh user at ultra")

possibility two - root login is allowed (damn *bad* idea!) and you have 
the wrong password

possibility three - keys are fouled... try removing the key for the host 
in question (typically found in ~/.ssh/known/hosts though there may be a 
/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts file to check as well) and try again

I'm sure there's a fourth possibility but I can't think of it for the 
life of me right now...  8^)
