Re: authentication failure

I can login as a non-root user, but not as a root user. I get message "Access denied" when longin using root via ssh. When I am in as a non-root user via ssh and trying to use
su, I get message "su: authentication failure".

No need to apologize; my comment was not intended as criticism, but
rather as an indication that I wasn't understanding.

So now everything is okay?

Or, you can login as a non-root user, but not as a root user? And if so,
via ssh, or once you're in as a normal user via ssh and trying to use
su? I think you may need to be a bit more wordy, outlining more
precisely what does and does not work.
