Have you ran RevertBastille and then redone the configuration using InteractiveBastille and setting the option Should we restrict console access to a small group of user accounts? [N] to no until you can sort out the configuration?? &nbsp;Or alternatively lock it down manually after this?<br />

Hello,<br />

Try login as a normal user and become root user by using &quot;su -&quot;. Once your root you can undo the changes bastille changed i.e. edit /etc/securetty or you can use the bastille program to reverse the step.

Ran Bastille scripts on CentOS computer, selected &quot;allow root yes&quot; but cannot log into console now, as any user including root. When I try to login on the console port, it gives me the &quot;warning prompt&quot;, then I type user name &amp;&nbsp;password (not only root, tried others), and it just repeats with the &quot;warning prompt&quot; over and over. I looked at ALL the standard files for allowing console login, so this must be something specific that Bastille did. I also reloaded one computer WITHOUT Bastille (same image) and it works fine, if you run Bastille, it stops working.<br />

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.
