This only affects login via the Gnome Display Manager.

This is, AFAIK, the default.  It doesn't hurt having it, but it should
not be required.

I know that root logins via sshd work on F11, and there isn't anything
special required to allow it that I am aware of.  I think you should
post the details of the failure you are seeing.  Running ssh with -vvv
for more verbose output might help.  Also, check /var/log/secure on
the server to see if it includes any relevant information.  If you are
using key based authentication, you should look for lines indicating
that the ownership and permissions on your keys are incorrect.
