I can telnet to Free BSD box from Windows 2000 client. I can telnet to it with my USERNAME and PASSWORD. Then I want to be root. So I issue SU - ( or SU - root). then FreeBSD box asks me the password (root's password ). when I give root's password, FreeBSD box does not accept . Why ? Pls help me ...
