Hi,

I just installed FreeBSD on an older system I have, just to try it out, and would like to be able to telnet into it, and configure things remotely.  Is is possible to make it so that I can login from root, or that another account has many of the same pr
velages as root, such as modifying configuration files?

Also, when I login to through telnet, it connects, and sits for about 1-2 minutes before I get a login dialog.  After this, data transfers very quickly.  I get the same problem when logging into FTP, the client connects, but then times out.  FreeBSD giv
s me some message about "icmp-response bandwidth limit 201/200 ppi."  Does this have anything to do with the problem, and what can I do about it?

Thanks,

Travis Troyer
