Re: updating remote 2.5 to current

By default, you can't log in as root via telnet. You can su though. Did
you add your user to the wheel group in /etc/group?

What OS were you going to run instead? Maybe you should just spit out the
cash and build another box that you rotate between upgrades. Maybe you
shouldn't have upgraded.
