One question about LINUX.

We have a LINUX server where some users are connected to this. When we
try to log as root user from a computer different from the server we get
the message: Invalid Password, so we have to logg from another user and
then to log as root user by the command `su`. Whereas if we log as user
root from the server we are able to logg on the system.

Does anybody know which is the problem that causes this?

Or in the other way, I would like to know if this is normal.

Regards,
