It's just as easy (Maybe even easier) to setup as telnet.

If you want to permit the root user to login, edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and change this line:
Code:
#PermitRootLogin no
to:
Code:
PermitRootLogin yes
It might be easier to add the following to /etc/rc.conf instead of modifying /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

Code:
sshd_enable="YES"
sshd_flags="-oPermitRootLogin=yes"
This way you can keep your /etc/ssh files at their defaults (and easily replaced via mergemaster during an upgrade) and keep configuration options in /etc/rc.conf.
