Enabling a terminal for user logins
Inadequate settings for user logins can render terminals inaccessible.
Important
- Multiple logins on the same terminal render the terminal inaccessible.
Do not inadvertently configure two logins on the preferred console, one explicitly through the terminal-specific device node and a second one through the generic /dev/console.
- At least one operational terminal device must be set up for logins.
The terminal that is associated with the preferred console and the availability of terminals in general differ, depending on your environment and on your kernel parameters.
