Solaris in VMware

Hi guys,

I have installed vmware workstation on my desktop and then installed Solaris in that. I am trying to access it through putty from my physical system by using root user but even after entering correct password also it says access denied but if i create a test user and then access it through putty, it works fine. also i am not able to connect to internet in the virtual Solaris os.

Hi there,

Let us know how you have setup your Virtual machine's NIC card. Is it set to host only or bridged. If you want to have internet connectivity on your virtual machine I would suggest you should either use Bridged or NAT.

For your SSH query refer the following documentation: http://blogs.oracle.com/sunrise/entr..._root_login_in

Instead of SSHing as root I would suggest you to SSH using normal user and then su - root. As that will be more appropriate way of accessing your machine over ssh and have root access.

I hope this helps.

In the ssh settings file you can indicate whether root should be abl to login. directlyti. Excuse the typos as I try to learn this keyboard.
