    I set up my first server and enabled telent. It's all on a closed network so I'm not worried about security. I just want to practice stuff.

    When I try to login in a root with the correct password, I get "Login Incorrect". I expect this is happening because 'root' isn't allowed remote access.

    So when I login as a normal user, I try to "su" and I get "su: Sorry". Do I have to set some special permissions for this?

    Thanks
