We have a m80 server with the basic non-graphics terminal hooked up to it (ASCII only). One of my admins set the root user to not be able to log in remotely. Unfortunately, there are no other users on that server (its for testing) so now we have to go and login at the server. The problem is that whenever we login as root and try to run SMIT I get this error that states the TERM enviromental variable setting does not allow SMIT to be run. In /etc/profile the TERM variable is set to "lft", but from the console attached directly to the server you cannot edit anything in vi, everything is read only? I know there is some way to run SMIT in this terminal so that I can get to the setting I need and allow remote logins temporarily?

Try:
chuser rlogin=true smith
Are you running smit or smitty?
You can change your TERM variable like so:
export TERM=vt100
I don't understand why "everything" would be read only in vi. What are the permissions on the file you're trying to edit?
chuser rlogin=true smith
