My question is this: In step 0 of the Import phase the instruction is
to
"Login to the target server by SSH as "admin" and use "su -" to gain
root
access." Is there any particular reason why I would not simply login as
root instead?
I've been logging in as root in my practice runs, and didn't seem to
notice any problems doing so.

<pre wrap="">target servers are normally setup to disallow root login, although you
may change that at your own peril
You possibly are using the console port in your office, which will allow
root login.
So the instructions are correct

Thanks for your reply Gerald. I'm finally making use of the MSI server I
bought from you back in 2007... I've got to go dig around for the rack
ears also.
The last step in the Export phase assumes that you have enabled root
logins on the target server, for the scp file transfer. I am testing via
an internal LAN address on the second ethernet port of the server, not via
the console port.
I don't think it's a big worry; I generally prefer to login as root.

Those MSI servers are very solid, just updated one last week, 5102R
to 5108R<br>
You can edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config, change to 'yes<br>

#LoginGraceTime 2m<br>
