Hey Trinio-
By defaullt, root logins via ssh are not allowed. If you wish to enable root
logins via ssh edit the file
/etc/ssh/sshd_config and change the line PermitRootLogin no to
PermitRootLogin yes
I would recommend leaving this as no, creating a user account and su 'ing to
root when you need too, but that's just me.
Henrik

Subject: OpenSSH
Im new to ssh, so not knowing that Openssh was part of the base, I
installed it from the ports. It compiled cleanly, and I tried to ssh to
the machine it was running on. When it came to the password, I entered
root's password, and it said password denied. I tried another and got
the same result. I tried another ssh to another box that I installed
ssh on, same result. I figured out that openssh was part of the base so
I uninstalled openssh and restarted the daemon. I got an error stating
the the RSA key was changed. So I deleted /root/.ssh/known_hosts, and I
came upon entering the password, and Im still having problems like how I
described above. I looked through the list and didn't come across
anything. What is been done wrong. Thanks
