Hi:

Based upon your description, you appear to have an '/etc/securetty' file. This file, if present, lists the valid 'tty' devices for a root login. If you don't want to restrict root's login to the console, remove this file or add the 'tty' devices you need to it --- one device per line, like:

console
tty01
tty02

Regards!

Try ssh as this will permit root login unless blocked in the sshd_config file.

You should login as a user and su to root. It's bad to allow root direct login. This way you have sulog to track who is logging in as root.
