SSH Caps Lock Issue

So maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I don't think so. I have my gentoo installation fully set up and running, and I'm trying to ssh into another gentoo server on the same local network

I can access it fine from putty (from windows boxen), but when I try to log in as root from this PC, it only works if I have caps lock on. Caps lock isn't required (and indeed doesn't work) if I try to log on as any other user, but IS required if I try to su when logged in as that other user

Anyone got any ideas why?

Are you ssh'ing as ROOT, all uppercase??

Would you post an actual transcript of what works and what
doesn't work, using the [code] feature of BBCode...

Please also show the error messages...
