Dear experts,
I installed telnet protocol in my RHEL 4 PC. I tried to
communicate the Linux PC from remote using telnet on both Linux and
Windows PC. Telnet protocol will not enable for root user but all
other normal user.
Any configuration modification is required?
How can i do this?
Generally i don't recommend using telnet. Try using putty, it is free
and secure as you can use ssh using it.
Secondly it is even better not to enable root login via telnet. If you
still need to do it, edit the following
/etc/pam.d/remote (Red hat/Fedora/Centos systems. Not sure on Debian
alternatives.)
there will be a line that looks like this,
auth required pam_securetty.so
comment it & then try logging in as root.
Kiran.
