Never log in as root except from the console.
After you telnet into your machine with your username, do the following
su -
and then it prompts you for the root password.
Use "su - otheruser" if you want to log in as another user.
Of course I won't get into the standard lecture about how BAD telnet is
for security, or that you shoul use SSH to login instead, I'll just
assume you already know that ! ;)
Thanks... Dan.
