@madanmeer, what makes you feel ftpusers is affecting telnet or ssh remote logins ?

You almost certainly have a line like this in the file "/etc/default/login":

Code:
CONSOLE=/dev/console

That line prevents remote root login, such as through telnet.

After doing so, did you reboot?

Incredible, there is no reason whatsoever to reboot for this.

chuikingman1, you are making it very difficult to help you. As jlliagre already asked several times. Please post the exact errors you get, not a summary. It didn't work or I get an error or similar does not help us in any way to identify the underlying problem.

Couple of reasons why telnet doesnt work
1) edit /etc/default/login and comment
#CONSOLE=/dev/console
2) Check if telnet service is running
svcs -l telnet
3) Create a test user on server. It should have a login directory and shell.
From the remote PC check the following
1) Is there a firewall between Solaris and remote PC. If yes then enable appropriate ports on FW
2) Ping the Solaris box
3) On the Solaris run dmesg or tail -f /var/adm/messages and run telnet from remote PC. Check the error on message file.

This should tell you something.

Thanks,
KK
