When ssh'ing to a remote host, SSH can log in automatically if you have a private key on the local Mac that corresponds to a public key on the remote host. You need to make sure this public key is available on the remote Mac for auto-login to work. -- Tom "Tom" Harrington Independent Mac OS X developer since 2002 http://www.atomicbird.com/

In Mac OS X there is typically no reason at all to ever enable or use the root account. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.

In Mac OS X there is typically no reason to enable or use the root account - much less allow others to log in as root from over the network. In fact, doing so presents some serious security risks. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.
