While loggin in as root is not normally a good idea, see login.access(5) fro some hints. make sure that PermitRootLogin is NOT no in sshd.conf for FTP: root must not be in the ftpusers file. why not use su(1) and ssh/sftp/scp? flo On Fri, Feb 22, 2002 at 12:06:01PM +0000, Robin Becker wrote: > Is it possible to set up a network term so that root can log in/do ftp > from a specified domain?
