Enable root access to telnet with krb5-telnet

Hello All,
I would like to enable root login access to telnet on Fedora Core 6.
I am able to telnet to using a normal user, but not as a root user.
1) making changes to /etc/securetty with adding pts/0, pts/1 etc did
not help.
2) Removing the /etc/securetty file did not help.
3) Commenting out the auth entries in /etc/pam.d/login did not help.
4) If I disable krb5-telnet and install telnet-server rpm, the telnet
as root works on local system but a remote putty access is not
working.

My requirement is: I would like to login as root when telnet to my
remote Fedora Core6.

"Yes, I know. telnet is insecure, but this experiment is completely
inhouse and I _want_ to use telnet only"

Thanks in advance.

Maybe it's because what you want to do is a very bad idea, and no one
wants to help you implement a bad idea.
