Sure u can't. That is impossible It is Linux security. As far as I know
you can login as root remotely only if you are using secure shell. What is
Secure Shell I can only suggest :-}
> 2) I'd like to enable HTTP linuxconf but linuxconf doesn't match the documentation online. Specifically, I never see a dialog box labelled "Status of the system'' as 1.2.11 of the online docs say I should. /etc/conf.linuxconf shows the changes I've made but http://<myhost>:98/ fails and I'm pretty sure I have the configuration right. Also, I can't telnet to port 98 so I figure it's not working.
By default if you installed all packages you http deamon is working. For
more info RTFM.

Certainly. Run Xconfigurator and choose any modes available.
