Well... if you just want to be able to login one time, and then restrict the root account... try this:
comment this line: #CONSOLE=/dev/console on the file: /etc/default/login after that, you can now login to your machine remotely, but I'd recommend you: after get logged in, uncomment again the line to continue restricting the access remotely. Of course, the steps need to be done at console! :-) HTH JL --- "M.Godlewski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > List, > > I want to install Oracle on a UNIX system no sys > admin on board yet, so I get to set up the system > with the Oracle account etc. Unfortunately, I can > not log into the root account remotely.
