I have a problem in that I cannot su to root on a FreeBSD machine remotely from a Windows machine. Note that the user I'm logging in as *is* a member of the wheel group (and I can su locally just fine). Symptoms are: % su Password: su: Sorry % Although I *think* the purpose of the sshd option "PermitRootLogin" is to (dis)allow *direct* root ssh logins, I changed it to "yes" anyway in sshd_config, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. I'm inclined to think this a server-side configuration issue, since I get the same result whether I use Cygwin ssh or PuTTY to log in remotely to the FreeBSD machine. Any ideas of what might be wrong? -- Will
