If the user exists in /etc/ftpd/ftpusers, that user is not allowed to connect using ftp. Check the man page of ftpusers. If you do want to enable ftp for root, remove root from /etc/ftpd/ftpusers.

AFAIK, this is a common misconception about how to troubleshoot a network problem using telnet. I've met many did that. its OK to see whether a port is open -- other than that -- they have their own protocol (language) speaking.

HTH,

Cheers.

I think you completely misunderstood the OP. He was saying was that he was able to login using a telnet session (ie on port 23, not port 21). And expected (incorrectly) that if this worked he had configured correctly to allow root to connect to the system for all protocols.
