my ssh has started to refuse users from out of the blue. I started to connect via Putty as root, me and other users.
login as: root
root@31.XX.XX.XXX's password:
Access denied
What could be wrong? I didn't change anything.

Could you check your server logs ? You will find a more interesting information for debuging your problem – Dom Jan 04 '12 at 08:41

Can you post the output of `ssh -v server_ip`? – Khaled Jan 04 '12 at 08:47

1Thank you guys for the advices. I find out, that the root isn't in allowed groups. So, solved by editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config! – Ginnyous Jan 04 '12 at 09:02

3@Ginnyous Be careful with root login enabled - it's one less barrier for an attacker to overcome. – Shane Madden Jan 04 '12 at 22:39

By default root user is not allowed to login in SSH remote connection. Anyway I recommend you using a normal user to work, not root. You can always use sudo if you need it.
logoff
