Hello All,

I would like to enable root login access to telnet Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant).

I am able to telnet to using a normal user, but not as a root user.
1) making changes to /etc/securetty with adding pts/0, pts/1 etc did
not help.
2) Removing the /etc/securetty file did not help.
3) Commenting out the auth entries in /etc/pam.d/login did not help.

My requirement is: I would like to login as root when telnet to my
remote Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant) machine.

"Yes, I know. telnet is insecure, but this experiment is completely
inhouse and I _want_ to use telnet only"

response is much appreciated..

thank in advance

Thanks,
Phanee
