I've just configured a server to my network (setting the ip, netmask, host file, etc...) and the server doesn't have any problem pinging another computer on the network. however when i try to connect to the server via ftp the root account can't log in, i made another account (a standard one that really has no privileges) on the server, and i can make a ftp log in without any problem with that account. i've also tried to connect to the server via ssh and i have the same problem (i can connect with the other account but not with root).
Any idea why i can connect with an ordinary account and not with the root account???
