Why can't I rlogin or telnet to the system as root

Login for root is controlled by the CONSOLE attribute for login
defaults.  Defaults in PowerMAX_OS are modified by the defadm command
and reside in the /etc/default directory.
When the login attribute CONSOLE is set to anything root is only
allowed to login on the console.

	# defadm login            
	HZ=60
	PASSREQ=YES
	ALTSHELL=YES
	MANDPASS=NO
	UMASK=022
	CONSOLE=YES  <------ CONSOLE set
	#

When logging in to this system you will see this error message.

	# rlogin cleo
	UX:in.login: ERROR: Not on system console
	Connection closed.
	#

To allow root to login using rlogin or telnet unset the CONSOLE
attribute or remove its entry.  This is done in any of the following
ways.

Unset the CONSOLE attribute.

	# defadm login CONSOLE=
	# defadm login         
	HZ=60
	PASSREQ=YES
	ALTSHELL=YES
	MANDPASS=NO
	UMASK=022
	CONSOLE=

Remove the CONSOLE attribute.

	# defadm -d login CONSOLE
	# defadm login
	HZ=60
	PASSREQ=YES
	ALTSHELL=YES
	MANDPASS=NO
	UMASK=022
	#

Edit /etc/default/login and comment out the CONSOLE line.
Here is /etc/default/login after editing.

	#ident  "@(#)login:nh/cmd/login/login.dfl       1.1.13.1"
	#ident "$Header: /sms/sinixV5.4es/rcs/s19-full/usr/src/cmd/login/login.dfl,v 1.1 91/02/28 17:45:11 ccs Exp $"
	#TIMEZONE=EST5EDT
	HZ=60
	#ULIMIT=4096
	#CONSOLE=/dev/console
	PASSREQ=YES
	ALTSHELL=YES
	MANDPASS=NO
	UMASK=022

Once you have remove the CONSOLE restriction you should be able to
rlogin or telnet as root.

	# rlogin cleo
	Password:
	Last login: Fri Jun 12 10:42:27 on pts005
