you can login as root only on the console or on the lines listed in /etc/securetty
if you want to log in remotely as root, you can either: - log in as a regular user and then issue the "su -" command in order to become root - use a ssh client (secure shell) instead of telnet (well, you can disable root access in ssh as well) ------ Original message: From: "neil" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2004 10:39:03 +0100 Subject: [Asterisk-Users] telnet and Root Sorry if this is posted to the wrong forum but as it is related to a problem I have with Asterisk it may just scrape through!! I am running Fedora 1 and I can telnet in to my asterisk box as any user except root and am using the same credentials as logging in locally. I am new to Linux and any help would be gratefully appreciated.
