In general you don't want to allow root login from any remote console. Customarily telnet login as root is disabled. SSH login as root is also disabled.
Most people login as another user and then 'su' to become root. That is preferable because it is easier to track. --rje -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Dan Sabo Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 1:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Can't get Telnet Root Access on a new Linux Dell server Thanks Joshua, Can I do that remotely, or do I have to do this right at the server? Also, since Mandrake is an application that comes pre installed, what is the startup command for that, both remote and at server?

It won't let you telnet as root, in that case try ssh host -l root from a linux workstation. You could also set up another user and use that to login with telnet and then use su to become root.
