OK if
your telnet is in fact working and it's just root that's not allowed.. the only
thing I could do to get working was to remove securetty from the PAM settings as
this was the only way I could get it to work.. No one on slug was able to give
me answers long long ago when I needed it but
just
as a test, try removing /etc/securetty by doing cp /etc/securetty
/etc/securetty.orig
now
try to telnet in as root from the outside and see if that
works.
I had
the same problem and found that removing the file fixed the problem ( i dont
know if its the right way to fix it tho )
