Operating Systems Solaris I can not access root user through LAN Post 302298634 by pravinlandge on Wednesday 18th of March 2009 07:37:46 AM

Hi
If you are logging through SSh in solaris then it is not allowed to login through root because there is one parameter in file /etc/ssh/sshd_config we need to change the value of it

The value of parameter is
PermitRootLogin no

you have to change it
PermitRootLogin yes

it is case sensitive ok

After editing the file you have to refresh the ssh service through command

svcadm refresh ssh

this command you can give on live server also ok

and If you are login through telnet then
you have to change the parameter in /etc/default/login

there is a variable CONSOLE

CONSOLE=/dev/console


you have to put the # sign in front of the CONSOLE variable
and refresh the inetd service

#CONSOLE=/dev/console




Thanks
Pravin

It is intended to be used during boot to ensure proper handling of passwords necessary for boot. systemd-ask-password-wall.service is a system service that informs all logged in users for system passwords via wall(1). It is intended to be used after boot to ensure that users are properly notified. See the developer documentation[1] for more information about the system password logic. Note that these services invoke systemd-tty-ask-password-agent(1) with either the --watch --console or --watch --wall command line parameters. SEE ALSO
