After searching the archives for "su and telnet" and reading about 250 entries on how you can't telnet as root, man ttys for how to change this.... My question is different (thank god)... I was wondering if there was a way to configure su so that it would disallow a user access if they're telnetted in. (but, say, allow them if they have sshed in). Also, I have heard two different approcaches on this: 1. You should star out your root password and force a key-based protocol to be used. If this is the case, how does one su? 2. You should not allow root logins via ssh either. See my confusion? Thanks, Dan Mahoney -- "GO HOME AND COOK!!!"
