Is there some default I can change to allow myself to log in as root via a telnet or other type of remote session? If I telnet to my freeBSD machine from a Windows machine from across the room, I get "login incorrect" for the root login even though I'm sure I've got the right password (Had no password for a while and thought that was the problem. 'twasn't.) I understand the rationale of having a strict default behavior but this machine is in my apartment; I'm not too concerned about my wife or five-week-old daughter wreaking havoc on my systems.
