What this file does is say what ttys are allowed to login as root. Doing the
above essentially allows all. Not suggested for a product
Do a 'su -' to have the same path and environment as root.

2. uncomment the telnet and ftp lin

Or better yet, install SSH, so your sessions are encrypted, and you're not
sending your root password in plaintext all over the Internet.

I suppose you could, but the "normal" way is to login as user and then to
"su" to the root account only when needed.

You cannot telnet in as root. Telnet in as a regular user the su to root.
Even better USE SSH. SSH encrypts the connection and allows root log in!

I think that the defaults for telnet and FTP can be changed to allow
root access. However I do not recommend this.
You should create another account with limited privileges that you
ftp/telnet into, and then su to root. This is a lot safer, and does not
require you to modify any file
Log in as a regular user to the remote machine and then do an 'su' to root
once you're logged in.
