It is a configuration option in SSH I think (/etc/sshd.conf or something). >>> m_nassar at yahoo.com 03/24/01 19:12 PM >>> a while ago i asked about using NFS to export the passwd and shadow files, instead you pointed me to use SCP and SSH to transport files... ( i looked into NIS and i cannot use shadow and MD5 with NIS, maybe in NIS+ ) anyways, i cannot log in as root to the machine in question using ssh, i tried looking in the /etc/securetty file and adding in/uncommenting pty/0-pty/9 but still no luck... where else is root login over ssh denied? -munir ===== -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GAT GIT dpu- s:- a19 C++ UL P+ L+(++) E--- W+ N+ w(--) K?
