root cannot login through CDE except console CDE

[kashi_1]

hi,
Only root user cannot log in from CDE install on systems in network except CDE at console. Is there any entry which doesnot allow specific user to login from CDE at other systems in network.

[Vladimir Fabecic]

That is normal. If you want to enable CDE root login from network, add an entry in /etc/securettys.
See man securettys.

hi Fababic,

How about posting the entry you made to /etc/securettys.

Also what are you using to get to the CDE login screen?

Hello, I guess you need to add the system name/ip address, where you are trying to CDE as root in the securettys file.

OK, I will make an example.
Lets say your PC host name is winbl (ip address is defined in /etc/hosts).
So entry should be:
/dev/console
:0
winbl:0
/dev/tty00
ptys


Notice that :0 means display 0. If using other display, for example display 1, then entry should be:
winbl:1
