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.
