You have to update /etc/securetty and add the devices you want root to be allowed to attach from. For telnet this is probable a pts device. Add lines like this:
pts/0
pts/1
pts/2
pts/3
...
The number will depend on how many people log into your system. Each login from telnet will take a pts device. If you have 100 device and 100 people logged in with telnet, all 100 devices will be busy and root will not be able to connect.
I think the highest I have ever gone is 30.

The Adobe Flash Player does not work in my Enterprise Red Hat Linux.
It instructs me to download the Flash Player which I have done. However, it does not install. Do I have a GUI in Red Hat that I can use or do I have to do it via command line.
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
