Dear membersOut of the box, FreeBSD disallows remote root logins. Instead, you can make a separate user part of the "wheel" group and su into root from there. I wouldn't necessarily advise doing all of your activity as the wheel'd user, though I haven't been playing with my FreeBSD machines on a sufficiently frequent basis to be able to say, one way or the other, if that would definitely cause problems.
I'm new to this list and also I'm new to FreeBSD environment .I'm network administrator in an isp.Recently i have changed our Internet servers from Linux to freebsd ( cache servers , dns servers , firewall , mail servers) . Every things works well , but i have a problem.I can't control my servers remotely.I have activated SSH and telnet but i can't login to my server with root account from my home or every other where. Each time i want to check my servers , i must go to my server's room and this is not good for a network administrator , i didn't have this problem with Linux.
