Title: root access via telnet
Post by: Shaun Gurden on August 20, 2002, 06:23:59 AM

Have upgraded to 5.5, set the remote access so that root can login via telnet in the private network.

However I get 'Login Incorrect' it will connect as 'admin' fine.

Is this by design or a fault.

Cheers
Shaun

are you using the right password for root??
Because root the superuser is he has access to everything

This is a design by deafult, root is now allowed to login over telnet because telnet is very insecure, try using SSH instead of telnet.

Thanks,
