You actually don't want to do this... honest. If you NEED root access through telnet (and I would REALY reccomend using ssh - if you're using Windows, use PuTTY) you can log in as a user in the wheel group and su to root with the right password. Also, make sure you've applied the security update described at: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-01:49.telnetd.v1. 1.asc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
