The default sshd setup does NOT allow root to log in. It is usually a

That's a freshly-installed CentOS5 box. I don't imagine the CentOS folk
changed that.
bad idea to root logins from the Internet because it exposes the root
account to automated cracking attempts. If you must allow root logins
from the internet, at least limit it to using key pairs. If you can,
also limit it to connections for a specific IP address, or range of
addresses.
Rat-limiting with iptables is good. Blocking China. Japan, USA, Mexico
is good if you don't live there.
As others have said, it is better to log in as a normal user, and then
become root. It does not eliminate automated attacks, but it does make
them harder.
I limit ssh from most of the world to five/hour. It makes it dashed hard
to guess even a weak password.
