We are trying to login to the FreeBSD box (as root,with correct password) using telnet from a Sun and SCO box on our LAN. The login prompt shows up on the SUN or SCO side and we attempt to login, but get a login failure. On the FreeBSD console it says that the login was rejected, even though we set the following in the file /etc/login.access on the FreeBSD box; +:root:ALL How do we overcome this problem?
