When I run "grep root /etc/passwd" before and after the passwd command (run in root shell) i get output that looks like "root:IOWE9827mp28fJI:0:0:root:/root:bash" and the encrypted stuff dose change after I change the password using passwd, but I still get permission denied when I run "ssh root@localhost" with the new password.
