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. > Out of the box, FreeBSD disallows remote root logins.

I wouldn't necessarily advise doing all of your activity as the wheel'd user, though I haven't been playing with my FreeBSD machines on a sufficiently frequent basis to be able to say, one way or the other, if that would definitely cause problems. -- Matt Coe, CCNA Member-At-Large, Dalhousie University CS Society Fall 2003 'Ford!
