Date: 23 Nov 1993 13:45:18 GMT Organization: Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio (USA) Lines: 16 Message-ID: <2ct45f$gia@usenet.INS.CWRU.Edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: nextsun.ins.cwru.edu I found the answer yesterday afternoon: ttys console "/usr/libexec/getty std.1200" pc3 on secure on local edit this line to read: console "/usr/libexec/getty std.1200" pc3 on secure===> its a secure terminal!! therefore system puts you into root after login times out. This is a major security flaw that should be checked for if you already haven't or if your'e having problems with login like me. By the way, how do I get the system to log me into csh or bsh as opposed to root? --
