Hi All,

As I'm sure you all know I'm fairly new to Linux and I have a couple of
simple questions.  

First - I've installed Mandrake 7.1 on a compaq ML370 using the high
security option.  The only thing I cannot do is telnet to the server from a
different machine and log in as root, it establishes connection, but I
cannot log in as root.  I've checked /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny
and they allow everything in (otherwise I could not connect...), and I've
looked at the files in /etc/security and they seem to be fine.  All of the
lines in /etc/security/access.conf are commented out, so I assume that root
should be allowed to telnet in.  I must be missing something very basic!

Second - the above server is used as a device server for a tape drive for
our backup system, but when I installed Mandrake 7.1 the SCSI tape utilities
(mt, stinint...) were not installed and nor were the man pages.  Does
anybody know what rpm they're in?

Thanks in advance!

Alan
