I think the pam configuration changed between RHEL3 and RHEL4 and you'll
need to do something different on RHEL3.   I'm not even sure if telnet uses
/etc/pam.d/remote, it may have something different.

Mind you, I really don't like root login at all: I much prefer normal login
and then sudo -- in a previous job when people habitually logged in as root
it was often difficult to track down who it was that was holding some
resource preventing something from happening.
