Direct root logins are enabled/disabled via /etc/ttys, aren't it?

---
# status Must be on or off.  If on, init will run the getty program on
#        the specified port.  If the word "secure" appears, this tty
#        allows root login.

# Pseudo terminals
ttyp0   none                    network		on secure
ttyp1   none                    network		off
---

Or maybe via the /etc/login.access file.  man login.access
Btw.  Don't use telnet, and never login as root.  Use `su' instead.
