Hi again,

Aside from my myriad problems with Ghostscript/printing (somebody
help me please!  It's driving me nuts!), I was also wondering about
one other thing.
Why can't I telnet into my mac as root?  When I try, it says:

myname# telnet 153.35.235.220
Trying 153.35.235.220...
Connected to 1Cust92.max5.san-francisco.ca.ms.uu.net.
Escape character is '^]'.

NetBSD/mac68k (myname.my.domain) (ttyp5)

login: toor
toor login refused on this terminal.
login:

Of course this happens on all the ptys.  I can also just login to my normal
account and su to root.

Can this be fixed, so that I can telnet to the mac as root?

Thanks for any tips.

-Adam

(P.S.  PLEASE help with the ghostscript/printing problem!  Thanks again.)
