[TriLUG] how does one permit root telnet

[Ryan Leathers]

You don't hear this one every day.
I need to allow root telnet access to a Linux host.
I think I need to modify /etc/securetty to permit this but I'm not sure
exactly how, and my experiments so far are fruitless.
Anyone know?

To prevent a flood of replies encouraging the use of SSH let me just say: in
this unique case telnet is the ONLY choice.
