Hello,
After installing redhat 5.0 on my "server" computer here,
I found I could not logon as "root" from an ethernet port.
After reading some docs on this, I realized that the PAM
software was looking at /etc/securetty file and thus not
allowing the logon. So, I moved the securetty file to a
different name, temporarily, so I could log in. (at this
point in the install, I had not created any other users from
the console) So, that appeared to be the fastest solution
in order for me to get on the system as "root". Now, the
problem comes in when I moved the new filename back to
/etc/securetty. This should have re-enabled the PAM check on
root logons... it didn't. I can log in a root from any port,
just like the securetty file wasn't there. What do I need
to do to fix this?
