Red Hat Enterprise Linux Version 3

Hello there guys,
i'm new in this linux world and i'm having problems with telnet session.

I enabled telnet login but it wont let me login as root.

is there a file that i need to take a look to make sure that root could telnet to the system.


Thanks a lot guys for your help.

You have to update /etc/securetty and add the devices you want root to be allowed to attach from. For telnet this is probable a pts device. Add lines like this:

pts/0
pts/1
pts/2
pts/3
...


The number will depend on how many people log into your system. Each login from telnet will take a pts device. If you have 100 device and 100 people logged in with telnet, all 100 devices will be busy and root will not be able to connect.

I think the highest I have ever gone is 30.
