Hi again! I have now sorted the problem with the connection - it seems that our router was not to blame - actually it was my fault! The cable was faulty, and would not connect!! Should have checked the obvious instead of wasting your precious time, sorry.... However, my next question is quite valid - how do I login as ROOT from a telnet session? I would assume that it has been disabled for security reasons, but I need remote access. I have already found out that to allow ROOT to access via FTP, you need to hash it out in the FTPUSERS file in /ETC. No problem. But there dosen't seem to be the same type of file for TELNET users? Hope you can help! Many thanks, Glenn Johnson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
