I have RHEL ES 4.5 boxes, fully updated, and I have (as per instructions) removed all entries in /etc/securetty except for one line, which says "console". When I do a CTRL+ALT+1, then try to log in a root, it fails. When I look at the logs, I see this in /var/log/secure: FAILED LOGIN 1 FROM (null) FOR root, Authentication failure. My questions are, what does "console" so in /etc/securetty? And what needs to be in /etc/securetty to allow root to log in directly, in this fashion (i.e. in an emergency)? -- Bill Tangren U.S. Naval Observatory Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
