folks, i'm still relatively inexperienced in this field but here goes! I can log onto my snort box from PuTTy on port 22 with my root password but when i try it locally i get denied i have checked the keyboard on the box is UK using the setup command and even added an account to the /etc/passwd file as root user but when i try to logon as the new user i get an access denied both locally and remotely root has rw control to the passwd file and when i vi/etc/passwd i can see the new account is held there. any one any ideas on how i can access the box locally or check further to see if the keyboard or locale is the problem? thanks to anyone who takes the time to respond michael mulholland
