# The lines in the file contain a service name, permission field and
# the Internet addresses or names of the hosts and/or networks
# allowed to use that service in the local machine.
# The form for each entry in this file is:
#
#
#
# For example:
#
# login allow 10.3-5 192.34.56.5 ahost anetwork
#
# The above entry allows the following hosts to attempt to access your system
# using rlogin:
# hosts in subnets 3 through 5 in network 10,
# the host with Internet Address of 192.34.56.5,
# the host by the name of "ahost",
# all the hosts in the network "anetwork"
#
# mountd deny 192.23.4.3
#
# The mountd entry denies host 192.23.4.3 access to the NFS rpc.mountd
# server.
#
# Hosts and network names must be official names, not aliases.
# See the inetd.sec(4) manual page for more information.

SolutionOn a trusted system, login allows superuser to log in on the console
unless /etc/securetty exists and does not contain console.
you need to uncomment 'console' in the securetty file, or remove the file entirely to allow root to log onto the console directly.

Their is one more option availabel to this issue.
If you system is trusted
go to below directory
/tcb/files/auth/r
do ls -ltr you will see a file name with root
make acopy of that file
do
vi root
you will see pwd word in 2 line so after "=" sign use "dw" command in vi so it will delete that word, then save the file and exit.
Then run become sudo
and run /sbin/passwd root
it will directory ask for the new passwd.
enter the new passwd..
Enjoy
