(i.e. pts/0, pts/1, etc.)
Note: You *probably* don't want to allow remote root login from telnet. First of all, telnet is an insecure protocol, passwords (and all traffic) can be sniffed from the network. Second, it's a better idea to create a separate user (say, "sysop"), and then do an "su -" once logged in to gain root privileges.
Have you looked into using SSH? There are two open source versions, and RedHat 9 comes with openssh. SSH is a much more secure protocol, and with SSH, you *can* log in as root and feel much safer, to some extent.
