At this point I can bring up a session prompt with telnet client, but pam has apparently become the obstacle I'm not getting figured out. It accepts non-root login, but not root. As on most of my test installations I don't even create non-root users, and sometimes need some things to work without /home mounted, I want to know how to enable root to login.
man pam_securetty
Thank you.
Unfortunately, that is yet another blatantly terse and short man page. All I know so far from it is that the list of secure devices in /etc/securetty for Fedora is vastly longer than for openSUSE, 28 vs 6.
If you want to allow root login over network, simply remove pam_securetty from stack. There was recently discussion on factory about making it default. Or use ssh :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
