[cobalt-users] Allowing default root SSH login

[Pizza Box manager <cobalt-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello to all,

We are currently installing our existing sites on a RAQ550r, thanks to 
those who helped about the migration / CMU question.
My problem now is that the Cobalt with this host provider does not seem to 
allow login as root directly.
The best thing is the provider just told us that have no clue about how 
this works and how to enable login as root on SSH.
I know it's advised to login as admin and su to root - (do not really know 
why though as we always do so in SSH and other providers we have let us use 
a root login by default), but I need a direct root login in SSH for tools 
like RSync apparently ?
Does anybody know how to either enable root login in SSH on a Cobalt 550, 
or how to login as admin as SU to root in the RSync command line ?
Else I guess we could RSync from the target to the source instead of the 
usual procedure - launch from source and SSH to target as root ?

Can anybody advise on the procedure ?
Thanks for your time.
