Ubuntu 14.4

[cagri yilmaz]

Dear All;

Is there anybody knows the reason of not to be able to connect to Ubuntu 14.04 as ROOT via SSH (Putty) running on BeagleBone Black?

I did it at 13.04 and I can connect as root with root password. However I cannot manage it in 14.04.

How can I enable it at 14.04?

Did you create a root user?
Did you enable the new openssh-server permission that disables root
access over ssh?

Regards,

Robert;

I did:

1. After logged on user name ubuntu and password as temppwd 

2. sudo su  entering the password as temppwd

3. passwd <new password> twice.

After that I edited  /etc/ssh/sshd_config

I added 

PermitRootLogin yes

Restarted the service.

I did it at 13.04 like that and it used to work. 

Anyway I will try to create the user called root.

Thank you very much for your support.

Best Regards,

Cagri Yilmaz

$ sudo passwd root        //creates a passwd for root.
$ sudo passwd -u root     // Unlocks the root account.

If you BBB is exposed to the internet, you should very seriously learn how to use sudo, and lock your root account.
