[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi Hamed, Why are you using telnet for administration, when there is SSH available? :) In default configuration SSH is not allowing to log in as root@. What you want to enable is: PermitRootLogin yes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config But is it difficult for you to log in there as normal user and then switch by su to root? su is checking in, who is in group wheel, and if you are in wheel group, then you are allowed to su to root, else you are blocked to su to root. You wouldn't have to go to server room, if you would create also another ordinary user account to which you will be loggin in when using ssh. cheers, Martin On Fri, Mar 26, 2004 at 12:43:26AM -0800, Hamed Abangar (h_abangar@yahoo.com) wrote: > Dear members > > I'm new to this list and also I'm new to FreeBSD environment .I'm network administrator > in an isp.Recently i have changed our Internet servers from Linux to freebsd ( cache > servers , dns servers , firewall , mail servers) .
