Root Frustrations (Solved)

[mike]

Thanks g!

The actual line had PermitRootLogin Yes commented out!  I removed the 
comment and all is well in Fedora 19.

I will try this later on Fedora 20 and see if it works there also. If so 
I will upgrade the whole place to 20 sometime this month.

Thanks Again g.
