This has got to be easy, but I can't seem to find it in the FAQ's
I telnet regularly to my LInux box from other places in the
building, however I noticed today, that I can telnet into
any login other than root. when ever I use telnet to
log in as root I get:
Login incorrect
(oh, and I am using a simple 8 letter password)
all other logins are fine.
What is the story?
I can get around it bye telnetting in, and just su to root.... but..
