| Hi,
How do I allow this please? What is the file I need to tamper with, and is
there a GUI way to do it?
And,.... how do I enable *root* telnetting to the machine? There IS a way
presumably...........?
Thanks  ,
Schewdent.

You _don't_ want this! You want to use SSH.

On the target linux machine, enable sshd service.
Then you can do a
ssh -X -l Schewdent rh_box
su -l root
(any command(s) you like here)
exit
exit
Now you are not passing your login id and password as clear text like
you would with telnet and you will be able to run X applications.

Eh no - I want for Windows users to get into it as well.
I fully understand what you're saying, and I don't like sending passwords
over the wire in clear form, but what if I'm on a
computer that I can't install anything on and has only Windows Telnet?
And also, the basic question - which is the file that controls this?
Thanks,
Schewdent.

Use PuTTy - it does not need any installation process, just unpack it and
configure and run it. No telnet please! Do yourself and your users a
favour.

Configuration files in /etc/ssh/
