No, I don't necessarily need Plesk; although we will be selling hosting. It simply came with the default configuration for the server. My plan is to manage most everything from the Unix shell. I just figured I might find a morsel inside Plesk somewhere for enabling root access. FYI, logging in as admin didn't work. Any other suggestions?

Regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,
you hadn't mentioned you are using Plesk :)


/bin/sh
/bin/csh
/bin/tcsh
/bin/sh(chrooted)
/usr/local/bin/bash

Make sure you choose /bin/sh (NOT CHROOTED).

also, if you are SSHing to your server via an account created with Plesk, which can creates chroots environments for those accounts.

Try ssh as admin with your plesk password straight into the box.

If I may ask, do you need Plesk? For some users and situations, it may be a good tool ( shared webhosting with many accounts ), and even in those cases I've found it to be more problem that is worth it, as it adds so many layers of scripts and software that you are mostly stuck with whatever is compatible with Plesk, or hacks around that (either way, not ideal). YMMV, of course.
