You shouldn't telnet as root. But if you must, you can remove
/etc/securetty and root will be able to login on all psudo terminals.

Otherwise, the syntax changed slightly for specifying which psudoterminal
that root can login on.

Instead of pts/0, you would just put a 0 in /etc/securetty, for 
pts/1, put a 1, and so on.
