Enable Root login from telnet or xterminal

[Paul Stanard]

Is there a way to enable the root account to login in remotely? Maybe there is a way in sysman but I have yet to find it.

/etc/securettys reads:

/dev/console
local:0
:0

ptys
for CDE it is
clientip:0

Does same hold true when using x-windows software. I can use telnet but not starnet, my x-term software.

Hi,

ptys
should be enough for telnet/xterm

greetings,

Hi

adding entry
ptys in /etc/securettys should allow remote telnet and xterm.

It's working with me
