Login to Root SSH

We recommend free ssh software called Putty. Download here http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

Find all your ssh informaiton inside your welcome email. You will see your ssh username (wheelgroup user), that user's password and your oot password.

Steps: (Putty interface)
1. Type your IP address in host field
2. Click "open". Leave everything else as default.

Note: wheelgroup user must be in normal shell mode not jailed shell.

Steps: (ssh interface)
1. Login with wheelgroup user [enter]
2. type username's password [enter]
3. type su - (dash, not underscore with space in beween u and dash)
4. It will ask for password again. Type root password here. [enter]
5. Done

Note: Putty will not show password being type but remain blank. That is security measure as well.
