not secure, but I need to make some tests and I don't want to su  to root 
because I loose root variables.

I'm not going to help you shoot yourself in the foot or anywhere 
else ;-)

Why can't sudo work for you here?

What 'root variables' are you referring to?

Oh, and by the way, logging in as root over TELNET is not a good idea.
You shouldn't do it, unless you really know that you are safe.
