Do a 'su -' to have the same path and environment as root.

Log in as a regular user to the remote machine and then do an 'su' to root
once you're logged in.

I have Mandrake 7.1 up and running and for maintenance purposes I want to
log on remotely as root for telnet and ftp from another system.

Right now this seems to be defeated by the system. Can I change this?
