This is a non trusted HP-UX 11.31. I cannot login from another server on the network with telnet using root. The password is not accepted. No issues using rlogin because I set .rhosts.
pwck and grpck are successful and /etc/securetty doesn't exist.
I've repeatedly changed the root password and I'm not using metacharacters.
Please provide hints.
Thank you,
Fidel

Re: Invalid root password
Check if security has been configured for the specified server in /var/adm/inetd.sec.
Recheck files /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf for the # in the inappropriate place.

Re: Invalid root password
No messages indicating root password failure on the command line or in the system log except for a lines like:
exec /usr/lbin/bootpd: No such file or directory
bootps/udp: Exit status 1
There are tons of these lines.

Re: Invalid root password
some more tips :
if login using ssh
cd /opt/ssh/etc/sshd_config
edit permitrootlogin no
and restart the sshd.
and if it is telnet
cat /etc/securetty
console
so that root can login only from console.

MC
