sunveer Member Registered: Jul 2012 Posts: 139 Rep:	Cannot login as root using Libvirt I have setup a LXC container using libvirt and I can't login as root using "virsh console <container>". I can login as non root successfully but not as root. I have set root password. <container>/var/log/auth.log contains Code: Sep 29 17:07:45 debian login[1454]: pam_securetty(login:auth): access denied: tty '/dev/pts/0' is not secure ! Sep 29 17:07:48 debian login[1454]: FAILED LOGIN (2) on '/dev/pts/0' FOR 'root', Authentication failure Please suggest, tty1 and :0 is enabled in /etc/securetty. Also, lxc-console is working perfectly.
