ssh login as root
Hi. It _seems_ that FreeBSD does not allow root to login remotely via ssh. I can miss something, but if I right, how do I allow it ?

Re: ssh login as root
You must specify to allow root in your sshd_config. noone will ever recommend that you do that though. On Mar 10, 2007, at 11:55 PM, Dima Sorkin wrote: Hi.

You can login as a user and su to root. see sshd_config for how to turn it on. jeremy ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: ssh login as root
Hi. Actually I would prefer to do it via su. Here a really newbie question: 1) How do I join regular user to 'wheel' group ? 2) How do I join a user to some group 'some_group' ?. Which manpage to read ? Thanks, Dima. On 3/10/07, Guido Demmenie [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Default setting is that root can not login via ssh (and that's how you want it). You can use su(1) to gain root privileges when loged in on your box with a normal user if needed (if you are in the group wheel). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

One should never login (local or remote) as root. Use an ordinary login and then su/sudo only at a short period when you really need it. Anyway, you may do man sshd_config and /RootLogin to _read_ how to allow root login via ssh.

You can change the config file to allow it, but that is considered poor security. The thing to do is to create a non-root account to log in to and add that id to the wheel group in /etc/group file. Then log in as that user and su to root only for those things that need root. jerry Thanks and regards, Dima. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Just edit the /etc/group file - using vi probably or any other text editor. On the line that establishes the wheel group, just add the user id on the end separated with a comma. eg. add ',otherid' to the end of the line. Save (write) and quit. It is now there. jerry Thanks, Dima. On 3/10/07, Guido Demmenie [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Default setting is that root can not login via ssh (and that's how you want it).
