Hello,

	I've just successfully built my own kernel and when the login prompt
appeared and I tried to log in as root it told me ...

	Root login refused on this terminal

	What's up?  I could do this before building the kernel and I did not
notice any obvious entries in my kernel config file which suggested allowing
or permitting what I was trying to do.  Anybody else seen this?  I really 
like logging in as root.  Its an enormous rush, you see.  Such a feeling of
POWER!  Anyways, if anybody has any suggestions for fixing this I would be
most appreciated to hear them.

	Thanks.

Frank Ficnar
