We are still on 4.* but on our network we ssh to the server from the 
client, or server to server, as ourselves, rgibson for example, and then 
su to root when we are logged into the server.  Perhaps things are set 
up differently in this new installation, maybe ssh is not enabled? 
Forgive me if this is a dumb response, I am always afraid to attempt to 
"help" on the list, but I'm going to try to respond to things I think I 
know the answer to -- attempt to step outside of my comfort zone.
