Hi,

$ uname -a
FreeBSD BSD001 3.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE #0: Wed Mar  8 08:15:32
EST 2000     root@BSD001:/usr/src/sys/compile/KERN_T1_QUAD  i386

I am unable to login to the Free BSD machine from a remote terminal, as
root.
I have been logging in as another user, and doing an su, to get root
access.
Can you help me out from this situation?
I don't have the file /var/run/nologin present.
/etc/login.access, is the default from the installation, as are the
other files that login looks
at.
Thank you very much for your kind attention to this matter.
Regards,
Sri Kumar.
