Re: Odd sudo behavior when logging via GSP console over LAN.

You might solve this by starting a new ssh connection to local host.
For this, login on de GSP and then to the console using your admin user-id. When logged on, start a simple "ssh" an enter your the admin password. Then you are logged on to a pts terminal and you now should be able to do a "sudo su -" (which normally is blocked by /etc/securetty)

Agreed - however the whole purpose (at least in my case) of logging in via the console/GSP is that remote connections are not possible (cable unplugged, network config error, etc). :-)
