Hi List, I've got a 5.0-release box running remotely, and access it through ssl. I (obviously) created a default user account for day to day work, but discovered that I wasn't able to "su" when logged in via ssl. The only way I (As a newbie) could be able to change to root was to allow direct root login via ssl, which was documented as being something one quite seldomly would want to do. What is the preferred way of doing this, and is it _really_ dangerous to allow root login via ssl ? Thanks in advance, /Fedder
