I have a regular user account on a remote box running FreeBSD 6 and I need to reboot it. The user account is not part of the wheel group. I have the root password for local login but I cant su (su: Sorry). Is there anything at all I can do or am I totally helpless until I can access the datacenter where the server is? Any ideas at all would be most helpful. I think I'm screwed. Thankyou __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
