[CLUE-Tech] remote login or telnet as root

[jason at matchingmoms.com]

I can rlogin or telnet to my linux server from my Windows machine as an ordinary user without difficulty.
  Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 jsf_host.www.powerpull.net
  jsf_host login: friejas

  Last login: Sun Jan 21 20:15:28 2001 from client1 on pts/0
  Linux jsf_host 2.2.17 #1 Sun Jun 25 09:24:41 EST 2000 i686 unknown

However, when I try to rlogin or telnet as root, I get this message:
  Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 jsf_host.www.powerpull.net
  jsf_host login: root
  Password: 
  Login incorrect
Any thoughts?  My goal is to administer my server from the comfortable confines of my office rather than where my server is located (in my basement).

Thanks!
