root login lockout on tty

I have added some modems, and can get them to work
except I can't logon to them with my root login.
It gives the message:

root login refused on this terminal.

I made the changes to inittab to get the logins to work
and the securettys to allow root logins, but the
securettys didn't seem to take. I have rebooted the
system. Is there another file I need to change to
get past the root login lockout? _at_ 3.2G

Thanks
