ahh, whatcha ya do is, edit your /etc/securetty file, it contains a list
of terminals that root is allowed to log on from.
for example your securetty file probably looks like this right now
[root@co677054-a gtm_transfers]# cat /etc/securetty
tty1
tty2
tty3
tty4
tty5
tty6
tty7
tty8
what you want to do is add the psudeo terminals to it.. add these so it
looks like this.
[root@co677054-a gtm_transfers]# cat /etc/securetty
tty1
tty2
tty3
tty4
tty5
tty6
tty7
tty8
ttyp0
ttyp1
ttyp2
ttyp3
ttyp4
ttyp5
ttyp6
ttyp7
ttyp8
this will lets lots of root users onto your system simultaneously :) I
have to warn you this is not a good idea :)))
Instead, you would be much safer if you sat down and learned about how
to use SSH (secure shell)...
Good luck :)
