No, I don't necessarily need Plesk; although we will be selling
hosting. It simply came with the default configuration for the
server. My plan is to manage most everything from the Unix shell. I
just figured I might find a morsel inside Plesk somewhere for
enabling root access. FYI, logging in as admin didn't work. Any
other suggestions?
Regards,
Michael
