When I try to telnet to Free Solaris 9, it says "Not on system console"
after inputting id and pswd.
From Win-xp and Free Solaris itself it says same thing.
What's wrong!?
If anybody knows,please let me know!

Check /etc/default/login. It appears that you are attempting to
remote access with the root ID (not a good idea with telnet, or any
other program BTW). There is a root lockout located in the referenced
file.

It worked after I commented out "console" section of /etc/default/login.
Thanks!

Jul 28 2003 18:01 are you trying to telnet into solaris as root ? there may be a file in the
/etc directory that controls access to the root account through telnet.

The file is /etc/default/login
