what message do you get when you try to login?
is it: Login incorrect
or is it: Root login refused on this terminal
check /etc/securetty
this file lists ttys from which root can log in.
in order for you to telnet as root, it should contain the line
ttyp0
also, check /etc/inetd.conf and make sure that indeed the original telnet
daemon is listening. check for similar line:
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
finally, if all else fails, make sure that CapsLock isn't lit on your
keyboard ;)
