I use "root" as login and > my root password. Many systems are configured to disallow remote login by root. (Incidentally, telnet sends everything over the network in plaintext. If you've tried this over the internet, you should probably change your root password, just in case someone with a packet sniffer was sitting on your route and saw the current one. If you can, install ssh and use that instead of telnet.) -- "Two words: Windows survives." - Craig Mundie, Microsoft senior strategist "So does syphillis.
