root access on serial port denied >-(

[Nico De Ranter <nico@sonycom.com>]

Howdy,

I'm setting up a number Linux servers in our lab. All servers
will be connected through the serial port to a console master.
Unfortunately it turns out the Debian installation (testing) refuses
root login on the serial console because PAM consideres it "not secure" >-(.
Is there any way to turn this behaviour off?

Thanks in advance,

Nico
