It seems the syntax for AllowUsers in sshd_config is not the same that is given in man sshd_config and in several documentation on the web. (http://www.openssh.com/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config)
e.g.
AllowUsers root
does work.
AllowUsers root username
IIRC, I had encountered similar issue on a Debian box but did not investigate much.
Instead, I went with the "AllowGroups" option e.g. AllowGroups admins
and add users to the group. Only members of the group can login with ssh.
