RE: logging in as root via telnet

["Brune, Charlie" <Charlie.Brune@anheuser-busch.com>]

Nope.  My computers are all in one room and I'm pretty sure my wife isn't going
to hack into them.  8-)

I'm really just looking to turn off whatever setting tells telnet not to let
root in.

Thanks for the links, just the same.  I'll try them out.

Thanks,
Chas

Yes, you do.  :-)

Red Hat 7 includes OpenSSH, and you can get Red Hat 6 rpms from

    ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/rpm/

If you need a Windows client, try PuTTY.

There is a *long* list of reasons why ssh is *infinitely* better than
telnet, rlogin, rsh, rcp, etc. that I can go through if you don't
trust me.  :-)
