Root password not responding
Alright I have recently installed BSD onto my computer as one of the OS systems to dual boot. However, recently the root usner name and password, when entered correctly or incorrectly, does not login. It gives me the message of Incorrect password or usnername. Why has this suddenly started occurring and how do I fix this?

Re: Root password not responding
Hit him, perhaps he responds then :-) No Serious, it could mean a lot of things, did you try just entering from the login prompt? Login: root Password: Hit enter here You might accidently changed it, someone might have changed it, it was unset, you were toying with vipw, and dozens options more ;-) Perhaps you should boot into single user mode, remount the / (readwrite) and use passwd root BTW: Where are you seeing this message? Remote ROOT logins are denied by default.. Cheers [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Alright I have recently installed BSD onto my computer as one of the OS systems to dual boot.

RE: Root password not responding
Are you having problem when using ssh or from the console? snip Alright I have recently installed BSD onto my computer as one of the OS systems to dual boot.

Why has this suddenly started occurring and how do I fix this? Change the line containing PermitRootLogin to yes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, and restart sshd on that machine. It's better from the standpoint of security to always log in as a normal user and su (or run sudo), which is why root login via SSH is disabled by default. However, there are circumstances where logging in as root is convenient... -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
