That sounds right. Did you edit the /etc/sshd_config in the target ssh server & restart the service there?
I'm just wondering if you got the client and server hosts mixed up, because that edit and restarting the service should have worked. Also, exactly how were you able to log in. If you started as root but entered: ssh user@host, you will be logging in as "user" and not root.
