Paul, Telnet login by root is probably not allowed. It's not good security practice since telnet traffic passes in clear text. Something someone in your job would know is not a good thing. :)
Use OpenSSH instead, and use either TeratermPro with the ttssh SSH add-on, or PuTTY to access your system. Others can tell you how to allow root to telnet in, but I won't, cause I like you. :) Mark Post -----Original Message----- From: paultz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 6:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RH72 telnet Forst, many thanks to those who responded earlier with all of the usefull information and URLs that helped me get the install completed to DASD (finally decided to rob from Notes390 to give to Linux390 and ended up reusing a mod 9 ... so plenty of room!). I have utilized the vast wisdom of the list archives to find that I needed to enable telnet, and did that. However, when I get to the login: prompt , I use 'root' as the userid, and 'mypass' that I assigned during installation, but get rejected with 'Login incorrect'. This is the same userid/password I use after IPLing to get into the system via the console. Did I overlook something? Thanks (again), Paul
