This is done by editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config: PermitRootLogin yes Then restart the SSH daemon: kill -HUP <sshd pid> > Configure a user account to be able to use the su command or install sudo, then log in > remotely as a user then su or sudo for administrative tasks. Allowing a regular user to "su" to root is done by making him a member of group "wheel". For sudo, the root user needs to configure /etc/sudoers with the 'visudo' command. You need to install the sudo package first. > Huy Ton That wrote: > > I am sure I am lacking the technical knowledge to get this running > but. I > > setup (more like started) the sshd daemon.
