If they're in the wheel group, they'll be able to telnet in and su to root while you're logged in as root, but other than that, unless you specifically allow root to have telnet privledges, no one should be able to telnet in as root. Also, you might want to consider using ssh instead of telnet. -- : Jim Mock | [jim@corp.au.triax.com] : : System Administrator | http://www.triax.com/ : : Triax Internet Services | ----------------------------- : : Portland, OR USA | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve : : Wagga Wagga, NSW Australia | http://www.freebsd.org/ : To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
