I would say, a little information in /etc/ttys, that NetBSD assumes the
tty as "secure". Root may not login from "insecure" terminals. Here is
what is looks for a network port, which i use most the time:

ttyp0   none                    network secure

So is done by default for the console:

console "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   unknown on secure

Maybe you don't log into the "console" but some standard tty. So just
enable the tty lines in /etc/ttys (think you did so) and make sure the
"secure" is appended to these lines.

I also got some problems with console, but never find the real reason,
it could be a problem with the console-related device nodes in /dev.
Just try to telnet the box via network, with the "secure" in some of the
"ttyp?" devices, it should work. Just put it into ttyp0 to ttyp7 and you
may log in 8 times :-)


Good luck... Michael
