Telnet Login Root.

[Gary Nichols]

You can configure your box to allow root telnet connections, but I advise
against it.

If you MUST use telnet, then telnet as another user and then use the 'su'
command to become root.

A better way would be to install openssh.  Then your passwords aren't passed
over the wires in clear text. :)))
