Hey Trinio-

By defaullt, root logins via ssh are not allowed. If you wish to enable root
logins via ssh edit the file
/etc/ssh/sshd_config  and change the line PermitRootLogin no   to
PermitRootLogin yes  

I would recommend leaving this as no, creating a user account and su 'ing to
root when you need too, but that's just me.

Henrik

Im new to ssh, so not knowing that Openssh was part of the base, I
installed it from the ports.  It compiled cleanly, and I tried to ssh to
the machine it was running on.  When it came to the password, I entered
root's password, and it said password denied.  I tried another and got
the same result.  I tried another ssh to another box that I installed
ssh on, same result.  I figured out that openssh was part of the base so
I uninstalled openssh and restarted the daemon.  I got an error stating
the the RSA key was changed.  So I deleted /root/.ssh/known_hosts, and I
came upon entering the password, and Im still having problems like how I
described above.  I looked through the list and didn't come across
anything.  What is been done wrong.  Thanks
