SSH: permission denied for newaliases

[jspiker]

Hi! I am trying to install a PIPE Interface for hivemail but when I log into SSH and type newaliases I get a permission denied respone. Why is this? How do I change that?
I need to change :

catch-all: joshspiker
to
catch-all: "|/home/joshspiker/hivemail_process.php"

Any suggestions?

Once you're logged into your server via SSH, at a prompt you type:

# su -

<enter root password when prompted>

If you su'ed successfully, your prompt should look like this now:

[root@hostname root] #

When you say at a command promp what do you mean/>
After I log in I get
bash-2.05a$
and then I type "# su - " but nothing happens.

You just type "su -". So it'd look like this:

bash-2.05a$ su -

Im really sorry to keep bugging you, but my root password does not work. Is there a sepatate su/ssh root password I need to set-up? I used the root password to get into my appliance admin. control panel and mysql management. Thanks,

You need to use the root password that came with your ServerBeach Welcome Letter. The root password is not the same as your Ensim password (unless you've changed it).

I used the root/admin password that came with my welcome letter and it still says incorrect password.
