Hello All,
I have been searching the archive but cannot seem to find an answer. We are
running HP-UX 11.0 and have in the file /etc/securetty is one entry
"console". As you all know this is to restrict direct root login to the
console only. What I need to be able to do is allow a remsh from our
mainframe as root but from nowhere else. We are trying to use our mainframe
as a job scheduler which is quite effective as long as none of the jobs
require root to run them. We have a half dozen jobs that do require root to
run them. I was hoping there was a option in securetty or some other method
to specify a single remote system to login as root and still maintain
restrictions from any other. Unfortunately I have not been able to find a
way to do this, thus I post the question to list. Is this possible?

Thanks,
