Default a telnet or ssh connect with uid root will not be accepted, in
default configs.

Always connect with a normal uid , and su root after it..

If you really want to connect as root with ssh, you need to change the
sshd config file..

(but, this isn't about the problem as i read the posting)

personally i say, dont use telnet, never..
