root message on login

[babyz]

Hello, weird things are happening in my box

I shutdown my system and when I log in back if I open another shell (csh) and login as root (or as a user and then su to root), in my tty0 terminal I get:

date freebsd login: ROOT ACCESS etc etc

I didn't get any message like this before and I haven't modified nothing.

What's happening?!

Thanks in advance.

Also, these messages appear only in tty0

Please post the exact messages.

System messages are shown on ttyv0. When you log in as root, that generates a message. If you post the exact message, we can verify this.

Also:
1. Don't log in as root routinely. Log in as a normal user and use su - when root privileges are needed.

2. If you must log in as root (see #1), use ttyv1 or one of the higher virtual TTYs so the messages don't interfere.

Looks like a syslogd(8) message. If despite what Warren wrote in the above post you still want to get rid of these messages, see syslog.conf(5).
