Besides the sshd_config, there are a bunch of other things that all disable root login.  It's a pain to figure out every last one of them.

The far, far easier solution is to create a non-root user, and grant sudo with a line like this:
nonroot ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

Now, you have effectively gained remote root ssh capabilities.  But it wasn't a pain in the butt.
