Thankyou in Advance!" Two ways.... 1) telnet it as a user in the group wheel and su root this will get you on as root. This is not secure over the network as the content of the session including the password are not encrypted. This in not a good idea over the internet for a server with sensitive data. 2) install SSH from /usr/ports/security/ssh and you can come in directly as root. The entire conversation including the passwords are encrypted PS .. Send mail as plain text. HTML formatted mail is hard to read in the text-based mail clients. -- When I was a kid I had to rub sticks together to multiply and divide numbers.
