do you mean root login or any login? As suggested ssh is the way to go, but still if you want to configure telnet for any reason(s) go ahead.. root login is not recommented instead you should login as any user and do a su. > the biggest mystery is I am not able to login to the machine through Command > Line, but am able to login in GUI mode, in command line it just gives me the > login screen, when I enter a user name and press enter it just comes back to > the login screen again.

May be its configured wrongly. You should get some message in the logs for invalid logins or login failure. Otherwise add some debug options in the pam configuration (/etc/pam.d/login). The securetty file should contain the list of all the terminals that the user can login from may be the terminal from which you are trying to login is not listed in /etc/securetty. -G.Vinubalaji ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
