Well, that's just it. As with many large corporations, there appear
to be a great many degrees of separation between the folks we're
talking to and the folks we *need* to talk to. That aside, we've
been assured that it is absolutely our own dedicated server. (It'd
better be as we just upgraded from Virtual to Dedicated hardware).
I'm at wits end regarding this issue though. I'm tempted to simply
go back to hosted solutions instead of dealing with this. Anyway, if
you can think of *any* solution to this issue, it'd be much
appreciated. For the record, the following are my Plesk Control
Panel offerings for SSH login:
/bin/sh
/bin/csh
/bin/tcsh
/bin/sh(chrooted)
/usr/local/bin/bash
. . .I've tried each, to no avail. I'm absolutely 100% lost.
Regards,
Michael

I recently purchased a co-located server from Cedant and need to

tried using
"pw" to add my user to "wheel" but I receive a warning informing
me that I
must be root to even do such a thing. You can see my quandary.
Please
advise.
FreeBSD, out-of-the-box, definitely includes user "root", and there is
no password (unless during the installation you choose to set one).
This sounds like a question you should be talking to Cedant/your
provider about. What you purchased may not be a real co-located box
that's personally dedicated to you -- it may be something shared with
other people, and something that Cedant maintains. This is purely
speculative on my part, because I know nothing about their services.
But this really does sound like something specific to their servers.
