Hi Jason,
Why not leave the login restraints as they are and log in as a normal
user an after you are in then su to root. This will give you root
access to the system while still maintaining system security.
If you really really want to login as root via telnet edit the
/etc/securetty which lists the terminals that root is allowed to login
from. Also see securetty(5) and login(1) man pages.
