Hi All.
Recently something has changed on one of our Solaris servers and we can no longer log into the root account from a Putty session.
It comes up saying "Using keyboard-interactive authentication" and fails when the correct password is entered.
Other methods of access such as FTP work with the root account but not directly into the console.
This box is Solaris 10, our other boxes are Solaris 9 though soon to be ugpraded. The other boxes work fine and this one was working fine and I am not aware of any changes.
Is there a Solaris specific setting somewhere that could be causing this? We can log in with another account and then use su but that is not always the best option for every task we need to perform.
At my age I still learn something new every day, but I forget two others.
