This could be an easy one.

I am trying to telnet to my Linux box,  I get the login: and password: but
no matter what I type in it says wrong password.
I try to log in as root and a regular user but still no luck. I was not sure
if I need to edit a file that would enable  remote access from the network.
With all the Linux books I bought I still can't seem to find this mentioned.
Any help would be appreciated.

edit your /etc/securetty file and stick the following in:

tty1
tty2
tty3
tty4
0
1
2
3

Four local console root sessions, and four remote telnet sessions.  Feel
free to add/subtract as you wish.
