Yes, you are trying to telnet in as root. You really should not do that. You should also not login as root locally, unless you really have to. You should login as a normal user and su to root. But don't do THAT over telnet, either. Like other people have pointed out, take a look at ssh, or better yet, openssh. -Yaron -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
