I have a Freebsd server 4.9 working in a closet without screen. So I would like to use it through ssh from another station with OpenSSH = to configure it when I need it. I can connect with a user login / password, but not with root / = password. Is there any reason ? did I miss something ? I use the command : ssh root@192.168.1.1 (This one doesn't work = with the right password) to connect or : ssh razor@192.168.1.1 (This one does) =20 Ouputs from OpenSSH : Connection to 192.168.1.1 closed by remote host. Connection to 192.168.1.1 closed. Not really clear for me..... :s And I'm pretty sure the password is correct because when it's wrong it = just asks me the password again! Does anybody have any idea ? Thanx Razor.
