[TriLUG] Cant su in ssh, please help

[Hariharan Gopalan]

Jason, does ensim disable ssh access by root?

*strongly* suggest that you not use webmin at all. for that matter, i 
would suggest not making any system changes by any means unless you do 
it thru ensim's control panel.

ensim overwrites a lot of packages on the host OS and has its own way of 
handling users, domains, etc. if you start mucking around with stuff, 
either using webmin or editing files manually, the odds of you breaking 
something are significant.
