Crap! Sorry about the f'ed up posts. OpenSSH denies root logins by default, check your /usr/local/etc/sshd.conf file for the proper configuration options if you MUST login as root. Try to just su after logging in as a normal user, or better yet, look into using sudo. -Jeff -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Ken Seggerman Sent: Wednesday, July 19, 2000 11:56 PM To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG 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.
