Yep

I forget what the file is, mabye /etc/securetty, (not at my linux box
right now). This file defines which terminals root can log into.
By default, root can only log into virtual-consoles on that box.
For obvious security reasons, one can't log in remotely as root.
You can change this behavior if you wish, but I STRONGLY advise
against it.

The command is "ln". Check the man page for usage.
