I recommend against doing so for security reasons. Telnet sends passwords and all other data in the clear, which means that if you do this a sniffer can pick up your root password. Not a good idea. If you want to log in as root to a computer over the net, I recommend you install openSSH. There is an excellent tutorial on doing so on mandrakeuser.org, at http://mandrakeuser.org/secure/index.html. Once you have done that, disable telnet and take it off your system. -- -- C^2 No windows were crashed in the making of this email.
