Hi all I was trying to connect to my FreeBSD 6.2 box with SSH with PUTTY by several days with the user "root" and nothing happens, only a denied password from FBSD, and a timeout close connection. But, a flash came to my mind ;D and then I tried to connect by a different user and... "voila", ssh connections came alive !!.. My question is: if root user is locked to connect by ssh (I think it maybe logic, but..) If it is so, how can I make an user that has same priviliges as root (I beg your pardon for this newbie question...) I think that wheel group is ok but what more?.. The think is that I need to connect to my FBSD box from outside the office in a secure manner and control it,... well, surely you know this ;D Thanks in advance "The more I learn FreeBSD, the more I love it" Juan Coruņa Desarrollo de Software Atlantico
