While praying that you'll do a Debian stable image (http://www.diginode.net/forums/diginode/requests/855482431158/view ), I thought I'll use the opportunity to mess around with OpenBSD. I'm interested with this OS due to its strong security orientation.

Installation was flawless - 5 minutes, and that's it (kudos to Diginode's infrastructure team). I was looking forward to learn this interesting OS.

However, I found out that it won't let me in as root. I even tried connecting via remote console (qcon.diginode.net), but it's the same, it still kicked me out. It insists that I logged in as other user, and "su - root" afterwards. Well, I'm in total agreement with that, but ...

I read OpenBSD's documentation - apparently, after normal installation, you'll end up at console's prompt, as root. Then you can create another user, which then you can use to log on remotely to the system.
But with Diginode, I had no chance to create this second user...

Could someone please enlighten me, on how to log on to my own server.

Many thanks,
Harry

I'll answer this myself - now I'm able to logon as root, weird.

What it was, I think, I was fooled by the error message; everytime I logged in as root, I got the following message:

"Connection closed by 65.110.15.22"

But now if I pressed Enter, the prompt will show up again straight away.

Oh well, at least I can start messing around with OpenBSD now
