Hi folks,
Indranil, I think this could be a soln.
the root cant login from any terminal because a file named "securetty"
exists in /etc
which has some valid terminals from which you can login. which must be
having at present tty1 to tty6
this can be secured by anyone who has permissions to w on /etc. he/she can
just mv securetty to some other name.
as for input devices locking up on the server. looks like a lock on console.
will have to do some research.
ciao

The problem which I faced is that root cannot login from any terminal and on
the server all input devices are getting locked after booting procedure is
over .So in order to shut down the server is it possible to run the shutdown
command from any console.
