What I was trying to say in this Email (to maybe help the other people with the actual problem), is: 1) root CAN NOT telnet into a box 2) regular users CAN. On my RH box... Red Hat Linux release 7.3 (Valhalla) Kernel 2.4.18-18.7.x on an i686 login: root Password: <root password> Login incorrect login: mikey Password: <mikey password> Last login: Thu Feb 6 18:39:27 from rusty [mikey@dogcart mikey]$ su Password: <root password> [root@dogcart mikey]# I remember about 5 years ago, on Solaris 7 (or was it 2.6?), there was a file in an /etc/???? directory you had to edit that would allow root to telnet. Thats all I'm saying. I'm not having any problem the why it works... only a regular user can telnet in.
