with sshd and rshd it can be set, with telnetd - no success.
That is a REALLY BAD idea. Why don't you just publish your address and
set the root password to nothing. It's only going to take a cracker a
couple of minutes or less to own your server once they find you (and
they will).
In fact, it's such a bad idea that there's a Snort rule for it (and a
really old one at that):
alert tcp $TELNET_SERVERS 23 -> $EXTERNAL_NET any (msg:"TELNET root
login"; flow
:from_server,established; content:"login|3A| root";
classtype:suspicious-login;
sid:719; rev:7;)
Of course, if you really want to do this, I agree with everyone else --
just put your IP on this list, and we'll help you right on out. :-)
