Hi,   I have installed Debian 3 successfully but when I try shutting down I get an error stating that "only root can shutdown" yet when I try login as root I get an error saying "root cannot login from here...", How can I shut the system down?   All help is appreciated.   Regards Llies   Mr Llies Meridja - J2EE developer 25 Liskeard Gardens Blackheath London SE3 0PE (+44) 7766 541 551 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]       This electronic transmission is strictly confidential and intended solely for the addressee.
