Jim, You cannot telnet in as root. Telnet in as an account and then use su to get to root. After loggin in, at the prompt enter su root or su - root The first one will keep your directory as /usr/home/login The latter will be /root Jeff On Fri, Mar 26, 1999 at 05:15:13PM -0800, Jim Pazarena wrote: > I am setting up my first FreeBSD box, and find that I can't telnet in > as root but I can as a regular user. > > I can't find where root is blocked from access.
