[Asterisk-Users] Re: telnet and Root

[Roberto Piola]

you can login as root only on the console or on the lines listed in
/etc/securetty

if you want to log in remotely as root, you can either:
- log in as a regular user and then issue the "su -" command in order to
become root
- use a ssh client (secure shell) instead of telnet (well, you can disable
root access in ssh as well)

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] telnet and Root

Sorry if this is posted to the wrong forum but as it is related to a problem
I have with Asterisk it may just scrape through!!

 

I am running Fedora 1 and I can telnet in to my asterisk box as any user
except root and am using the same credentials as logging in locally. I am
new to Linux and any help would be gratefully appreciated.

 

Thanks
