Hi All: I've googled this but couldn't find an answer I understand.

I want to allow ssh logins as root from within my non-routable subnet
(192.168.1/24).

I've modified the sshd_config to specify the HOST range, and I've
added "AllowRemoteLogin yes", but I still can't login or su as root.

I'm newbie to FreeBSD and Unix. I understand it's a permissions
problem but I'm not sure where to start.

TIA for any help.

comp.unix.bsd.freebsd is not widely propagated, so you won't
necessarily get much help here (in comp.unix.bsd.freebsd).
See http://www.freebsd.org/support.html for better ideas...

That should be enough.  [I'm assuming you're using the ssh built into
the base system and that you're using the sshd_config in /etc/ssh.]

Try it without the HOST restriction first, and see if that's
interfering (a typo there could lock everybody out).

Just to be sure:  you remembered to restart the sshd after changing
the configuration, right?  ["kill -SIGHUP `cat /var/run/sshd.pid`"]
