We have installed FreeBSD from your Walnet Creek CD-ROM. We are trying to
login to the FreeBSD box (as root,with correct password) using telnet from a
Sun and SCO box on our LAN. The login prompt shows up on the SUN or SCO side
and we attempt to login, but get a login failure. On the FreeBSD console it
says that the login was rejected, even though we set the following in the
file /etc/login.access on the FreeBSD box;

+:root:ALL

How do we overcome this problem?

Paul
