It can sometimes be useful to embed the user in appropriate clause
in your machine A .ssh/config file when this happens. A weird example
for connecting to a machine console via a serial console server called
"hydra":

  Host swofford-console
    Hostname              hydra
    User                  cameron:ttyS1

which lets one go "ssh swofford-console".

I'd also remark that I usually turn off root ssh access to my machines.
