Paul:

All that needs to be done to allow root access via TELNET is
change /etc/ttys (`node_data/etc/ttys) to look like this:

#
# ttys - terminal initialization data
# 
#device	getty/program		term	on/off	other flags	comment

console	"/etc/dm_or_spm"	apollo	on	secure		# use mkcon to redirect
console output
display	none			apollo	off	secure		# DM pad devices
tty01	none			dumb	off	secure
tty02	none			dumb	off	secure
tty03	none			dumb	off	secure
ttyp0   none                    dumb    off     secure
ttyp1   none                    dumb    off     secure
ttyp2   none                    dumb    off     secure
ttyp3   none                    dumb    off     secure
ttyp4   none                    dumb    off     secure
ttyp5   none                    dumb    off     secure
ttyp6   none                    dumb    off     secure
ttyp7   none                    dumb    off     secure
ttyp8   none                    dumb    off     secure
ttyp9   none                    dumb    off     secure
ttypa   none                    dumb    off     secure
ttypb   none                    dumb    off     secure
ttypc   none                    dumb    off     secure
ttypd   none                    dumb    off     secure
ttype   none                    dumb    off     secure
ttypf   none                    dumb    off     secure


This will allow the root access you wish.

Cheers,
Alan Whitton
