what is stopping you from doing this ?? i havent seen a local unix system yet that denied root logins on the console, and linux distributions in general usually allow anyone to su to root. if you want to telnet as root(not reccomended unless the network is in a secure state) edit /etc/securetty to add the terminals you want root to be able to login on. nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
