Hi,

Check,

# ls -la /etc/securetty
-r-------- 1 root sys 8 Apr 10 10:34 securetty

# more /etc/securetty
console

Regards,

Robert-Jan.

Hi,
By the presence and content of /etc/securetty, you should find ony one word: console


All the best

See if /etc/securetty exists and contains "console". ONly.

Hi prashant

If /etc/securetty file exist and if the file has 'console' entry in it, then root is allowed only on console and no from anywhere else
