Until somebody writes in with more information or a better idea, my first suspect would be msec -- what security level did you choose when you installed? IIUC, in some levels you are not allowed to log in as root directly, but only to su to root from a user account. Try this page for some links to information on msec: http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/Msec Randy Kramer
