RE: [SLUG] help : telnet RedHat7.1

[George Vieira]

OK if your telnet is in fact working and it's just root that's not allowed.. the only thing I could do to get working was to remove securetty from the PAM settings as this was the only way I could get it to work.. No one on slug was able to give me answers long long ago when I needed it but this was what i did...   vi /etc/pam.d/login   #%PAM-1.0 auth       optional     /lib/security/pam_securetty.so auth       required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok auth       required     /lib/security/pam_nologin.so account    required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so password   required     /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so password   required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so nullok use_authtok md5 shadow session    required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so session    optional     /lib/security/pam_console.so   Changed the line with securetty from required to optional   this makes it available from anywhere so the only thing you can do is stop it when it gets to the shell.. it's very grude but works for me..   Didn't worry me anyway and I have software which monitors all logs and alerts on problems.. ie root logins from elsewhere..   -----Original Message----- From: henry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, 29 January 2002 5:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SLUG] help : telnet RedHat7.1 Dears:     I installed RedHat & choosed No_Firewall, then modify /etc/securetty by adding 0 1 2 3 (0 1 2 3 means that 4 tty(s) can telnet this host as root)      I just cant telnet  from outside as root though I can ping from outside Could someone help me ?   TIA Henry
