Hey,

I have one user (other than root and the other system users) on my
box, and that user is _NOT_ in the wheel group. I also have root
logins disabled via SSH. This is a remote server and all I have is SSH
access.

Is there any way that I can gain root? I know the root password and
everything, but I just can't get to it. The user is not in the wheel
group, and root login is disabled in SSH.

Thanks for any help/advice.
