Unable to telnet (non-ssh) as root

Hi forum,

I face a strange issue. I'm able to telnet as root with ssh.
But I'm not able to telnet (non-ssh) as root to my Suse 10 machine.

Can someone please point to significant files where I need to make changes for Suse 10 machine and resolve this issue.

Thanks in advance.

logging into root over telnet sends your root password over the network as plaintext. For this reason most servers don't have telnet running these days.
