Dear list,
Though it is quite an old release compared to RHEL4 and RHEL5, I have
found that the krb5-telnet
package does not seem to provide root log-in permission.
I have done exact the same steps in RHEL3 / 4 / 5 while only RHEL3
returned a negative
"Login incorrect" messages.
<STEPS>
1. Comment out the [pam_securetty.so] line in [/etc/pam.d/remote]
2. Add [pts/[0-9]] into [/etc/securetty]
3. Switch krb5-telnet from [disable = yes] to [disable = no] in
/etc/xinetd.d/krb5-telnet]
4. Start / Re-start xinetd.d by [/etc/init.d/xinetd restart]
5. Make sure xinetd / krb5-telnet is listening on port 23 by [lsof
-i4 | grep -i "telnet"]
6. Telnet into localhost by root user using [telnet -l root localhost]
7. After input the correct password, only RHEL3 returns a "Login incorrect"
For there is one article in KB to promote using the "telnet-server"
instead for root permission,
I am just wondering if there were any difference between RHEL 3 / 4 / 5.
- How do I telnet as the root user in Red Hat Enterprise Linux?

Any comment would be greatly appreciated.
