Here it is my /etc/ttys, you just have to change "off" to "on" to tell the system that each port is secure. # # ttys - terminal initialization data # #device getty/program term on/off other flags comment console "/etc/dm_or_spm" apollo on # use mkcon to redirect console output ttyp0 none dialup off ttyp1 none dialup off ttyp2 none dialup off ... ttypf none dialup off For those of you who don't know how to turn off all other user accounts from my node, I created a /etc/d_users file containing just my user name. Hope this helps, Achille Petrilli Cray & PWS Operations
