I have a question to which I cannot seem to find the answer anywhere... I have inherited a FreeBSD 2.1.0 (GENERIC) #0 UNIX box. It has been running fine for a long time (since 1995). The problem is that I can login as root on the server console, but nowhere else. I cannot login as root through telnet nor can I login as another user and su to root. It simply says Sorry. This would not be a problem except that since I have to do all root operations from the console, 1) I must be at the server and 2) I have to keep putting up with console messages that are displayed. If someone could tell me what permissions and/or configuration files need to be examined, I would be very appreciative. Thanks (in advance). Mr. D. M.
