I am assuming if you are trying to login directly as root then you'll have to enable root login in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config and uncommenting PermitRootlogin yes. This is a big security risk to login directly as root let alone telnet. Also make sure it's not blocked by a firewall or port 22 is not blocked by your ISP. Only speaking from experience here as I've had a similar issue.

Every things works well , but i have a problem.I can't control my servers remotely.I have activated SSH and telnet but i can't login to my server with root account from my home or every other where. Each time i want to check my servers , i must go to my server's room and this is not good for a network administrator , i didn't have this problem with Linux. Any one can help me? thanks Hamed Abangar --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance Tax Center - File online.
