Re: [newbie] Can't login as root in CLI
The file /usr/share/doc/msec-0.38/security.txt describes the security features for each level. Levels 4 and 5 disable direct root login. Disabling direct root login means that somebody has to guess two passwords to enter as root. raffaele [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Thu, Oct 23, 2003 at 05:30:44PM -0400, Ronald J.

I have no idea about what is going on. Needing help to sort this out. Saludos, Adolfo I think we've seen this before in the message threads - its entirely due to your security setting AFAIK. In other words, its supposed to do that at higher settings. Thank you Ronald. I didn't know it was a security feature. Saludos, Adolfo Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
