I get the log in thru telnet and enter root and then password. Everytime I get incorrect login I know this is not correct because i can log in locally. Can i use root to log in? I very new to Linux and Debian and need some advice.

for security reasons very few modern unices allow remote root logon

u need to logon as user first and then "su" if you want root access
