This is to keep your system secure. To make it possible to log in as root, add ttyp1 - ttyp8 to /etc/securetty

-----Forwarded message from Paul Winkler <pwink@ibm.net>-----
This is my first experience setting up a Debian (or UNIX) server.
The server is running Debian 1.3.1. I am not able to telnet into the
server and login as "root", I can however telnet and login as other
users. I can also ftp and login as root.
An explanation as to why this is occuring and how I might remedy it
would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Paul
