With Solaris, there is an /etc/default/login file. In there, there is be a
line:
CONSOLE=/dev/console
Comment this out to allow root to login from a telnet session.
I don't know if there is an equivalent file to /etc/default/login with
Linux . . . anyhow, the security issues aside, that is how you allow root
to login remotely on Sun Solaris 2.5.1 and 2.6.
