This is normal. You are not supposed to use insecure loggins as root.
See "man securetty". It is recomended to use ssh for logging into another
machine (and even this as a "normal" user, then su to root).
:>If I want to mount a NFS directory as root

This is a rather funny behaviour, but I have noticed it on my network too.
It seems that unless an directory is exported with "no_root_squash", a
root cannot mount it (?). I did not bother to look in the details, since
I actually like this feature (or is it a bug), but this is what happens:
I have "amd" running with default automount map, i.e. ls /net/MACHINE_NAME
automatically mounts all the directories which are exported from this
machine. If I try it as a root, though it does not work, unles it has been
allready automounted (by a non-priviledged user). I do not mind this, but
it is a kind of surprising, since this was not the way NFS behaved before
I installed M6.1.
Is this a new feature of later NFS versions, some security-enhancement
from Mandrake team, or what?

PS. I did not bother trying to find out if this is amd-weirdnes, or
really an NFS issue, but it is quite easily repeated on my machines.
