I wil however, RTFM, and also RTFG for google *smile* But honest, I read all the documentation for this disabling root thing, and everyone says go do what I did....but I shall look at the pam.d sshd file, thank you Take care, Sina No trees were destroyed in sending this message; however, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced. -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Joseph C.
