By default, logging in as root to take place through a telnet session, you
have to do this:
login as a user
run `su -`
enter root password
You'll then have logged in as root.
To log in as root from the login: prompt, you need to add (manually) all
of the /dev/ttyp* devices (or, if you use UNIX 98 PTY support, in 2.2.x
kernels, you have to add all of the devices for it).
