True and False... The example: I am using machine A and sshing into the FreeBSD machine. When I am logged into A as a normal user, and I try 'ssh -l root freebsd', I am not allowed in. BUT When I root on machine A, I am able to do a 'ssh freebsd' and get in as root. Granted, I am not using the default ssh, I compiled/installed it myself on the FreeBSD machine. -- Sam Carleton Please stop by http://www.maineville.net and help my local police force!
