I hesitated before sending this, as I have been flamed before for being a beginner. but
I am newish to linux/asterisk, and I am running an ssh server. It is still running with default settings, (I dont know yet how/where to change it), and I CAN logon remotely as root.
(Haven't figured out how to 'su' yet !)

This is using the Rapid Xorcomm v 1.0 cd, which I believe (may be wrong) is based on a very recent version of Debian ?
 Perhaps xorcom have changed the default setting ?
