root user can't login via telnet
I'm using Red Hat Linux release 7.1 and I'd like to know what should I do to log in via telnet using the root user. Nowadays I have to log in using a normal user and I have to launch the "su" to become root. Sorry about the simple question.
For hp-ux the /etc/securetty controls this kind of thing.
Regards,
Augusto

Re: root user can't login via telnet
if you really want to enable root login on Redhat, do the following:
--> rename /etc/securetty to securetty.old
--> vi the following file:
/etc/xinetd.d/telnet
--> change the entry: disable = yes to "no"
--> restart your xinetd
This will do it for you!
Allways stay on the bright side of life!
Peter

Re: root user can't login via telnet
renaming securetty helps but results in error messages !
Put rlogin in /etc/securetty and a few Pseudo TTY's which should be allowed for root access.
This is the only correct solution.
Erasing the pam rule helps but isn't nice.
