If the entry is CONSOLE=/dev/console you CAN NOT login as root from a remote machine.

If you make the entry as #CONSOLE=/dev/console you can login as root from remote

open, #vi /etc/default/profile

go to 18th line, and comment the line CONSOLE=/dev/console to: #CONSOLE=/dev/console

Now you can do telnet to remote pc as Root admin

#vi /etc/default/login
# CONSOLE=/dev/console (Only root can login)
