I agree, but how would you enable telneting in as root. Just curious! It
would be good to know because I have setup another account that is in the
same group as root but I am still limited to the files I can access. And
unforuntantly I am not always at the server. So when I do get there I must
change the permissions of the files that I need. And it is kind of a hassle.
And what is su?
Thanks,
Anthony
