Login to the root shell from the serial console

[Vesta]

My system have no intitab file at all, although the source code has a lot of refrences to it.
Should I create it manually and place into /etc/ dir?

Please specify more details about 2nd method, which file has to be edited to get this functionality?


B.Regards,
Alex
