Oh, your trying to login as root with root password. Not a good way to
login. By default RH will not allow you to telnet in as root. First login as
your own username and password then type su, hit enter and it will prompt
your for another password which is the root password. To see who you are
logged in as at anytime just type whoami at the prompt. It will come back as
root or the user you logged in as or the user that you changed to with su.
