I am fairly new to the unix world.  I am trying to learn how it all works.
I have RH 4.0 Intel.  

I have tried SEVERAL version of Linux such as Slackware, Yggdrasil, etc and
have never have one install properly the first time until I installed
REDHAT! Excellent job on the install...

Question:  When I telnet into my linux box and try to login as root, I just
get a "login incorrect" everytime no matter what I try to login as.  Is
there some kind of security file that I need to modify?

Any help would be greatly appriciated.  TIA!
