Re: Cannot login remotely via telnet

["Jason Wong" <jwong baysurf net>]

If you're telnetting with root, you'll need to edit /etc/securetty
to allow telnet access for root.  Otherwise, a safer alternative would be 
to telnet in as a user that you created then type su or su -, then
type in the root password and that will give you root privileges.
