I run a SLES 11 (for emergency recovery) and RHEL 7 system on zVM 6.3/6.4

Sysadmins can LOGON BY to get to the zLinux console if necessary.

How/what do I have to configure so logging onto the 3270 console gets me
logged into root in a bash shell automatically? Similar question for
sometimes the system has problems coming up and it's prompting for "Enter
root password or CTL-D to continue". How can that be bypassed so it just
goes into a bash shell logged in as root?

I've searched google and see reams and reams of "autologging root is a bad
idea"... I say that depends.... I think the zVM userid/password protecting
access to the zLinux console is sufficient, the "bad idea" view is based on
a physical machine that anybody could access, that's not the case for
ZLinux on z/VM.

Thanks,
Donald Russell
