Re: How to enable root's remote login
Hi Patrick,
Thanks a lot for your help, I have commented out word "console" in the /etc/securitty file, and then telnet to the server and tried to log in as root, but I'm still unable to login as root,
The error message I'm getting is login incorrect, is there anything else i need to look at in order to allow remote login for root... Please let me know
Thanks for your help and prompt response, we have a great team here, I have learned a lot from these forums on HP, as my expertise is in AIX....
Regards,
Raf

Re: How to enable root's remote login
Instead just move /etc/securetty to /etc/securetty.old and try again.
I would honestly leave it as it is. This forces you to login as yourself and then su to root. This creates an audit trail of who has su'd to root if it is needed. It can also show who has tried unsuccessfully to su to root.
