Actually, you can remote login to your system through Telnet, if you
want to use 'root' to login your system, try ssh instead of telnet...

Of course, login as normal user, and use 'su' to change to SuperUser
is better... (ssh is better)

About the telnet settings, you may read the man page of 'telnetd', and
config '/etc/inetd.conf'..
