Comment: Hi,
I am not able to log on as root on Sun Sparc Solaris OS with the command Su or Su - root either thru telnet or VT100. I am prompted for a password but i dont get the to the prompt after that.This is also happening when i am logging in as Su - "username". However after initaiating the telnet session i am able to directely logon as a user at the Login prompt.It gives me a blank return and prints on to the console whatever i type. Can anyone help.

Reply: (edit)i'm not sure of how you are trying to log in. if you are trying to log into a machine as root but it is not permitting you it's probably blocked through /etc/default/login. for security reasons, this is the default state. to change it: uncoment CONSOLE below in
# If CONSOLE is set, root can only login on that device.
# Comment this line out to allow remote login by root.
#
# CONSOLE=/dev/console hope this helps
