    Thank you very much for responding David. I did find the problem....
    Since I did not have a customized sshd_conf file when i installed
    openssh-server-3.6.1p2-4mdk.i586 it over wrote the config...right when I was
    in it!
    The new default to the mdk ssh package is

    PermitRootLogin = no
    so I changed it to yes, then I did receive a lot of suggestions that it was
    not a safe thing to do allowing root to ssh in, so I changed it back and I
    have begun using the su command once in.

    I very much appreciate your time and thought!!

    Amy A.
