I have a .068 ohm resistor reading 0.00.. acting like a short, it is a low ohm resistor, is it supposed to read???

Lemme see. 0.068 ohms. Really? That would be within the margin-of-error for many cheap VOMs. Does your meter have a range-adjust? If you are in the 0-10.000 range, you will not get a wiggle at 0.068 ohms. Of you are in the 0-1 ohm range, that is entirely something else.
