root remote access

[Tommy Wang]

I cannot logon the solaris using root. I know there may not be the right place for this question, but I don't know how to seek other helps on the web, any suggests, thanks

It may be the host denies root acces from anywhere else but the console (its common...)

If you want to be able to remotely log in as root on a solaris box ( and are not worried about security) do the following:
1. Edit the file /etc/default/login
and comment out the line that says:
CONSOLE=/dev/console.
ie. it should read
#CONSOLE=/dev/console

Good luck

If you are getting "login incorrect" and you know you have been putting in the correct passwd, the the CONSOLE line.
