Hi, it is a bad habit to acces your system as root via telnet, but if you really want to: add a line like this to /etc/securetty: pts/0 pts/1
These are the terminals which allows root login, so this will enable root login on two connections. Better use ssh and Putty if you are working from a windoze machine. It is more flexible too.
