There is a reason for this. It's considered good security policy to disable
telnet, ssh, or ftp login as root, especially if you are transmitting the
password in clear text. Typically you need to login as yourself and then su, or
in the case of ftp, put/get as yourself and copy things around as root.
Some ftpd's may allow you to bypass this in the .conf file, and this may be
an option here, don't know. Make sure you really need to be able to do this.
