console connection prompts for root password

I'm new to this list and to conserver.  I have just set up an OpenGear 
CM4148 console server attached to a single conserver client machine 
running RedHat AS 4.  Things seem to be working fine, but I'd like to 
make a change to the password behavior.

Currently, I log in to the conserver client machine and attach to 
"console fred".  The MOTD appears and I have to press the Enter key to 
continue.  The I am prompted for a root password.  Once I enter that, I 
get a console login prompt "fred console login:  ".  Is there a way to 
configure conserver so that there is not a prompt for the root password 
before receiving the console login prompt?

I would like to be able to just attach to the console using "console 
fred" and get the "fred console login:  " prompt without having any 
other password prompt in between.

Any help is appreciated,

Lisa
