I just got a new machine and installed MineOS node. When I try to connect as root with WinSCP (default and putty) it won’t accept the password. However, logging in as root with the WebUI or using su root works fine.
May be unreleated, but when I logged in as mc for the first time, it said something about the machine might be impersonating another machine that I had connected to before (my old server).
See this wiki page I wrote about root login:

Ah, thanks, that clears it up
