Hi,
I have installed Free BSD Release 2.2.2 on a system called "olympus".
It is working fine and I am able to login as "root" from the console
and do the stuff.
PS: I am new to Free BSD and am really sorry if this is a very silly
question ;-( But, I need to know this quickly to proceed with my
work. Any help would be appreciated.
FROM REMOTE SYSTEM
------------------
When I am attempting to login as "root" from some other system (lexus), it
gives the following error on the console:
Oct 21 20:39:50 olympus inetd[389]: login_getclass: unknown class 'root'
Oct 21 20:39:55 olympus login: login_getclass: unknown class 'root'
Oct 21 20:39:58 olympus login: LOGIN root REFUSED (NOROOT) FROM lexus ON
TTY ttyp1
So, I am NOT able to login as 'root' from any other system onto 'olympus'.
FROM LOCAL CONSOLE
------------------
Please note that, when I am trying to login as "root" from the local
console, I am getting the following message:
Oct 21 20:39:55 olympus login: login_getclass: unknown class 'root'
But, I AM ABLE to login to the system as "root" from the local console
of the system "olympus". Only 'root' login from a remote system to
'olympus' fails.
File /etc/login.access
----------------------
I could locate the file /etc/login.access which specifies entries for
system login.
I attempted to set
+:root:ALL
+:root:lexus
and stuff like that... Oops ! It didn't help me !
Any help would highly be appreciated...
Regards
