[ale] Telnet for Root

[Zhongbin Yu " <z.yu at premcall.com>]

root is by default disallowed from telneting /ftping in. 
for telnet, check /etc/securetty
for ftp, check /etc/ftpusers.

Again, it is in general a very bad idea to allow direct root access while
other ordinary users can do the job with or without some extra efforts.
