RE: telnet acces for root ?
David -
You must add ttyp0 (assuming your the only person that wants to telnet to the box to the /etc/securetty file to allow root logins. If your not the only telnetter, you have to add ttyp0 -> ttyp12 or so, which should let you login as root even if 11 people are telnetting in already.

Subject: telnet acces for root ?
I've set up a test PC with Debian 1.1 and want to
administer it remotely but am refused a telnet connection
as root ... is there a way around this ? Do I have to give
root privs. to a named user or can I enable telnet
connections as root ?
The machine normally has no screen or keyboard - hence the
need for telnet access !
Thanks in advance
David
