I am running ssh from an installed rpm oh a Redhat 6.1 machine
Version of ssh is Name : openssh Relocations:
(not relocateable)
Version : 2.5.2p2

When i loginto my machine from a remote location i from the client machine
connects fine. I can the su to root if need be. My problem is i keep getting
these logs showing up. The second line is the main issue. Why am i
connecting but getting this log & why am i as the user trying to connect
with a UID of 0 (thought that was for root. Any idea where in my system that
i should be look to fix this????
