My HP-UX server is configured with rlogin.
I am not able to login by root user directly.
So now i am logging in using normal user and use " su - " to get root login.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Enabling root user in rlogin
Restrict root login to the console
/etc/securetty is used by the login command; the file contains the device names of tty lines (one per line,
without leading /dev/) on which root is allowed to login. We only allow the console.
# echo console > /etc/securetty
# chmod 400 /etc/securetty
remove "console" word from /etc/securetty

Re: Enabling root user in rlogin
Are you trying to use rlogin for password-less login?
Or is the problem that you are unable to login directly as root by any means? (rlogin, telnet, ssh)
Perhaps root login is restricted to the console only and not allowed from network ttys? Check for the /etc/securetty file.
HTH, Paul

Re: Enabling root user in rlogin
I would recommend configuring SSH for password-less login.

Both the situations are different. If you are not able to login as root directly, you should look at the file /etc/securetty. This file restricts where root should be able to login directly. Most people specify only the console, so root direct login denied from network. root can login directly only on console.
Hope this clears you.

Re: Enabling root user in rlogin
In Local Node.(From where you want to rlogin)
#more /etc/hosts
in this file check that remote host entry is there or not. If not then
#vi /etc/hosts
make the entry of remote host.
#more .rhosts
In this file check that remote hostname and user id is there or not (it will looks like host1 root), if entry is not there then
#vi .rhosts
and make the entry.
Do the same in Remote server.
Thnx...Farhan
