Re: root xlogin

Do u mean that "login root" fails from a GUI window?. What is the exact error message that you get?

What does the "system" line in /etc/group look like?

Re: root xlogin

Saravanan, did you try the root login from excursion or console of the system? Incase if you tried login through excursion please do the following

Check the
/var/adm/syslog.dated/current/auth.log file to find the exact display name being denied for remote access. You may find some display name followed by "ROOT LOGIN REFUSED display:#". Add the same display name in /etc/securettys file to give access.

Please update us with the exact error message and which login window is used (xdm or dtlogin), to help further on this.

Re: root xlogin

If you use SSH, check if /etc/ssh/sshd_config
contains "PermitRootLogin yes"

Also, try the "search" feature of this forum. I see many hits on this topic.

Re: root xlogin

The "/etc/hosts.equiv" contains list of trusted hosts. You can add your remote host name in the file and try login to the system as root now.
