Can root every be "Root"
Posted: Mon May 07, 2007 1:06 am
Edit: I just logged in as my primary user and it occured to me, Debian (AFAIK) doesn't let remote login as root, you need to su into root after you login as user. If I'm wrong please correct me, otherwise, ignore this topic. 
I purchased a dedicated the other day and *finally* got the email with user/pass/webmin details.
I tried logging into my root account using SSH client built into my editor of choice (UltraEdit) and I"m getting a user/pass invalid error.
1) I changed the password via webmin, so I am sure the password is correct
2) I have tried Root and root - thinking maybe that was the issue
I still cannot login...WTF...
Is it possible SSH isn't setup? Can I check this using Webmin?
I am getting a warning with my SSH telling me the server host key is *not* cached, blah blah blah...
I am familiar with generating this key as I did it once a long while back (sourceforge) but I wasn't given no key from my hosting company, so I'm not sure WTF is going on???
Any ideas?
Thanks
