Operating Systems HP-UX problem in logging into root Post 302284216 by aditya.gaur on Thursday 5th of February 2009 02:12:31 AM

Hi trek7300,

I am facing the same problem of not being able to login through root.
We have HP-UX 11.x series server.

Can you provide some details for moving dld.sl into /usr/lib/ or restoring the link between lib and /usr/lib.

How can i execute command ln -s /usr/lib /lib as i don't have access to root and i get "ln: no permission for /lib" message when i try to run that command through other user.

What to do if the console is not working in the same server.

Thanks in advance,

Aditya.

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

       /etc/securetty
