Hello! Here's yet another problem that has completely stumped me: 1. If I try to telnet into my own machine with the root password: [root@cups166 /root]# telnet cups166 Trying 192.168.1.2... Connected to cups166.reisersun. Escape character is '^]'. Welcome to cups166.reisersun Linux Mandrake release 8.0 (Traktopel) for i586 Kernel 2.4.3-20mdk on an i586 login: root Password: Login incorrect 2. If I try to ftp into my own machine with the root password: [root@cups166 /root]# ftp cups166 Connected to cups166.reisersun. 220 ProFTPD 1.2.2rc1 Server (ProFTPD Default Installation) [cups166.reisersun] Name (cups166:root): 331 Password required for root. Password: 530 Login incorrect. Login failed. ftp> I deleted the line "root" from /etc/ftpusers and restarted xinetd but it still won't allow root to login. WuFTPd in Mandrake 7.2 allowed root to login after that line was deleted. So how do I login using these services as root? I can login as any user *other* than root, which is somewhat unusual :). I am using the "Medium" security level. I know that I should use scp and ssh instead (which I do) but I am just curious as to why ftp and telnet don't work in LM8 (telnet doesn't either in LM7.2, but ftp does). Thanks again, George
