[personally, I'm fond of sudo, which is in the ports] Letting root log in directly leaves you with no audit trail, and a single point of failure in your security scheme. You can configure sshd to let root log in, but I don't generally advise it for a network on the Internet. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: sshd and pam
Try first to login as a user who is member of group wheel and then 'su'. See if that works, root login is mostly disabled for security reasons.

Yes, login as a normal user and su to root ('su -'). The normal user
has to be in the wheel group ('pw usermod [name|uid] -G wheel'). You
may also set PermitRootLogin yes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. You might
also want to read the sshd_config manpage.
