[Sunhelp] telnet login problem

[David Morley]

The file /etc/default/login contains the line

CONSOLE =/dev/console

By default if this line is NOT commented out the root user is restricted to
logging on ONLY from the console itself.  You should be able to su to root
after establishing a telnet session as a normal user.
