For a Full Linux system, there is generally a file in /etc/securetty. This file contains a list of the ttys where a root login is ok. Typically only the console devices are in that file, which limits a root login via telnet. This file doesn't exist for LTSP workstations. If you can't login to an LTSP workstation as root, that is because NIS doesn't export the root userid.
