Thanks. I will use ssh in the future. But I just need telent now to verify the backup works. I see /etc/securetty/ contains tty1 to tty6. When I do a ps aux, I see JohnDoe is telnet in using pts/1. How do enabled root tlent for now? Added pts/1 to /etc/securetty? I will try...

Just work with ssh, it's a lot better. I've been working on ssh from my work to my home, and it was no trouble. If you want to install ssh, go to the http://www.mandrakeuser.org It has a nice tutorial about installing ssh. That should be all, SALUDOS Gonzalo --- Norman Zhang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> escribi�: > Hi, > > From \Mandrake Control Center\Security\System > Options\, I see > allow_remote_root_login is set to default (enabled). > But I can't seem to > telnet into LM 9.0 with root.
