If this login goes over the internet this is not the answer u wanna hear. U -shouldnt-. If u ever try to login as root the password travels in -plain text format- over the 'net. It is most unsecure. An even unsecure workaround would be to telnet in under wheel account/normal user and su/sudo to root.

A better way is installing sshd on the remote end and use ssh to connect.
