I can't login as root (and other) user after I recovered ignite

[MQ'ski]

Hi...
password are fine...
The question now is how can I enable console login for root

[Patrick Wallek]

Is there a file /etc/securetty?

If so what are its contents?

To allow root to login ONLY from the console it should only contain the word 'console'.

# cat /etc/securetty
console

[MQ'ski]

i has /dev/console
I want to allow root to login from everyone...
should I remove this line?
or remove securetty file?

[Patrick Wallek · Accepted solution]

If you want to allow root to login directly from anywhere, you can mv the /etc/securetty file to /etc/securetty.old or something.

If you ever want to allow root to login directly only from the console you will have to remove the '/dev/' from in front of the word 'console'.

I don't thinks it's a good ideal to login directly as root. They should have to su - that way there is an entry in the sulog.
