Hi Charles, It is never a good idea to directly allow a root login over any sort of remote connection, including SSH. It is better to allow a "regular user" type login over SSH, then use su for a root login or sudo for the execution of commands as the root user. Darrell Shandrow - Shandrow Communications!
