No it is on, i'm SSHed in now, but only as root. I want to log in as a user cause i don't want to be in root all the time but it keeps telling me invalid password, een tho I know the password isn't wrog. It gave me invalid password when I tried to su without being in the wheel group... that's why i think it's about what group i'm in, i could be wrong tho.

Make sure your user has a shell.
chsh -s /bin/bash nameofuser

| By default ssh uses the account name of your client computer to attempt to connect to the remote one. try ssh -l <username> <host>. |
