Are, there's the magic -- you didn't mention root. :-)

For ssh, you need the following line in your sshd_config:

	PermitRootLogin yes

The default is ``no''.

For telnet, you need to flag your pseudo-terminals as ``secure'' (see
the ttys(5) manual page for more details).  Note that this is a Very Bad
Idea.  Don't do it. :-)

Ciao,
Sheldon.
