Subject: Remote Administration Problem

Dear members
 
I'm new to this list and also  I'm new to FreeBSD environment .I'm network
administrator in an isp.Recently i have changed our Internet servers from
Linux to freebsd ( cache servers , dns servers , firewall , mail servers) .
Every things works well , but i have a problem.I can't control my servers
remotely.I have activated SSH and telnet but i can't login to my server with
root account from my home or every other where. Each time i want to check my
servers , i must go to my server's room and this is not good for a network
administrator , i didn't have this problem with Linux.
 
Any one can help me?
 
thanks 
Hamed Abangar

Hamed,

You can't ssh into as root by default..

Create a new user in the wheel group...  
ssh as user then su to root

Or

/etc/ssh/sshd_config 
PermitRootlogin yes
