Hi all
Thanks for ur suggestions.
actually i am using solaris2.5 un a sunultra1 sparc server.
wht i found that a number of terminals had been opened in the console itself.
i just closed all those terminals and now from remote machine i can telnet and open new terminals.
so what Livinfree is telling seems true.
i also checked the pt_chmod and the permission is as follows
---s--x--x 1 root bin 4388 Oct 6 1998 pt_chmod
Any other ideas..on the kernel parameters that restricts no of terminals.
Thanks and regards
Praful

securetty
SECURETTY(5) Linux Programmer's Manual SECURETTY(5)
NAME
securetty - file which lists terminals from which root can log in
DESCRIPTION
The file /etc/securetty contains the names of terminals (one per line, without leading /dev/) which are considered secure for the transmis-
sion of certain authentication tokens.
It is used by (some versions of) login(1) to restrict the terminals on which root is allowed to login. See login.defs(5) if you use the
shadow suite.
On PAM enabled systems, it is used for the same purpose by pam_securetty(8) to restrict the terminals on which empty passwords are
accepted.
FILES
