    Brief Description of Problem:
    -----------------------------

Has two problems

1. "too many users logged in" message when trying to login

2. wanted to login as root directly when using rlogin

The first one was the license problem, requested him to install 
OSF-BASE and OSF-USER licenses

For the second one told him that I'll do some testing/research and
let him know

3093.1How to annoy your security gods...AMCUCS::SWIERKOWSKIQuot homines tot sententiaeTue Jan 28 1997 16:3735
Greetings!

>>> 2. wanted to login as root directly when using rlogin

For this to work on my system, I added the following line to /etc/securettys:

ptys

  FWIW, if you want to login as root via SET HOST/LAT add lines similar to the
following in /etc/securettys:

/dev/lat/620		# I copied these from /etc/inittab after invoking	
/dev/lat/621		# latsetup...
   .
   .
   .

  You realize this is a glaring security hole and may not make the security
gods too happy at the customer's site so as long as we're really opening up 
the system, if you want ftp access to the system using the root account, add
the following line to etc/ftpusers:

#root


  I believe that some/all of this may not work if C2 (i.e. "Enhanced Security")
security is enabled (via the secsetup script).  See the man pages for siainit
command and the "Security" manual in the doc set for more details, cheers...
