OpenSSH allows guessing of root password?

I set sshd to deny root login.  But I still get a password prompt! So if I
get the password right, I get one error message:

	Received disconnect: ROOT LOGIN REFUSED FROM example.com

while if I simply put in a wrong password three times I get

	Permission denied.

If this means I set it up wrong please mail me directly - I'm not subscribed
to the list.  Otherwise please fix this.
