Re: ftp, telnet services





What's the format for /etc/login.access? My systems don't seem to have that
file.

In /etc/ftpusers it lists the users that cannot login, so just comment out
root to allow it to login. /etc/login.access controls what accounts are
allowed to login, just edit that appropriately to allow root to login
telnet (tho you should really be using ssh for that).
