I need to allow root logon using telnet. Basically let me log in as root using a telnet session. I did it a year ago but forgot how to do it. Is it in /etc/??? This is on Solaris 7 OS.

Thanks

BTW just to sound like your parents, you do know that this is usually frowned upon in the unix community as a security risk?

Thanks bluedevils,

This is a test server and I understand the security risk.
