I *hope* I am misreading that, and you aren't actually going to 1) open up
telnet on a public webserver 2) let root log in remotely and 3) *DEFAULT* to
root logging in remotely. Working our way backwards, that is 3)assinine,
2)horrible, and 1)dumb. If you need remote login capability, use ssh. Even
then, I think twice about letting root login in like that. If that isn't
what you were asking, I apologize. But, wow......
