only root can use console command?

Conserver,

 

I am missing something simple here, I think.  I have setup 3 console servers, and they each work fine, if the user is root.  If I attempt to access the console of a system as a user I get the following:

 

> console boromir

console: connect(): 782@console: Connection refused

 

I have this in my conserver.cf file:

 

default *       { logfile /logs/console/&; timestamp 30ma; rw *; }

 

I thought that setting the ‘rw *’ in the default config line would allow any user to connect.  What am I doing wrong?  Why can’t normal user accounts access the console command?

 

Console –V output below.

 

Thanks,

 

Phil
