That's due to security. To enable root access via ftp, edit this file: /etc/ftpd/ftpusers In this file comment the line containing root and save the file. After this you can directly login as root via ftp.
Similarly you can edit the file: /etc/default/login and comment the line: CONSOLE=/dev/console This change will allow telnet access via root. -Narendra --- "Angelyn V.
