Re: [Xen-users] illegal root login on `hvc0''

do you have hvc0 included in /etc/securetty
I don''t know about slack64 but it is required on redhat.

Re: [Xen-users] illegal root login on `hvc0''

Try to add the "hvc0" to the file /etc/securetty.

Re: [Xen-users] illegal root login on `hvc0''

I think you need to add hvc0 to /etc/securretty

Re: [Xen-users] illegal root login on `hvc0''

Hi Christian,

/etc/securetty must contain hvc0 - this ist not the default on most systems.

This file defines all consoles where root login is allowed.

Felix
