I can log in as root and telnet out without any problems - never had a "connection refused as a result of that. That message occurs well before there's been any ident, and the remote host otherwise has no idea of which account you are logged in as; and it shouldn't care in any case. I certainly didn't change anything to allow it, and my setup is very standard. What FreeBSD *does* do is to disallow by default telneting INTO it with the login name of root, and you'd at least see the login prompt to type in the "root" login name before you get disconnected. I don't think that this is the cause of the "connection refused" messages. Sounds more like telnet has been disabled on the remote system(s), or inetd isn't running, which is exactly the result you'd expect in that case..
