Permit root login for telnet..

[Shekhar Dhotre]

I have used telnet before ssh came in to the market . Do you know how to
hack telnet ? or break a root password without having physical access to
the system ? most likely the answer will be - NO .. so what's the big
deal in ssh vs. telnet ?

Dear Arun,

You do NOT want to enable root login via telnet - trust me on this
one. Please tell the list what you are trying to accomplish - 99.9%
chance is that whatever you are trying to do can, and should be done
via ssh.

Kind Regards,
