[summary] (now working) root login lockout on tty

I hate those stupid mistakes - I work easier in windows, so I FTPed it to my
Windows
workstation, made the changes, and FTPed it back. My FTP program usually takes
care of the <CR><LF>s at the end of the lines - not this time. I had a ^M at
the end of
each line I edited in windows. I used vi editor, and removed them. I will be
looking at
other files I edited in windows - I have a couple scripts that are not working
right --
maybe....

Thanks to Wendy Fong for replying, but it still doesn't work. I have the
/dev/ttya01m on up to /dev/ttya07m set, and the only one that I can logon to as
root is /dev/ttya01m, the others don't work (I forgot to mention that
/dev/ttya01m worked from the beginning). All the other modems work, just not
with root.

Following is Wendy's mailing to me.

I run uucpsetup. I then edit the line in inittab to read as follows:
(using your designation)

Hi there.

digia01s:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/getty ttyd0 console vt100

Add to securettys:

/dev/ttyd0

then,

# init q

This works for me.
