Woops!

OpenSSH denies root logins by default, check your /usr/local/etc/sshd.conf
file if you MUST login as root. Try to just su after logging in as a
normal user, or better yet, look into using sudo.

Subject: OpenSSH on 4.1 CR won't accept root's password


Greetings:

I have FreeBSD 4.1-CR running on two machines. I have enabled sshd on both
of them, generated keys and connected back and forth as an ordinary user
using ssh from the command line.

However when I do the same for root, ssh just won't accept the password
for root, even though it accpets my ordinary-user password.

I've read the man pages and don't see why it is doing this.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

A tutorial or how-to for ssh (in more detail than the how-to for
committers) would be great, if anyone knows of one.


Thanks,

Ken Seggerman
