can you use login as "root" instead of your username?

Just to methion this for some useful experiences. I tried to create a new user 
via chroot env by adduser, it works perfectly, but when you try to adduser on 
the original root env, since you don't have a user folder, it automatically 
quits even if you login successful, since the machine has no space for a new 
user folder i guess, its impossible to login as a new user via original env. If 
anyone successfully done that, please share how you did.

I have same problem, even with user root. I use the password set by 
webinterface under Admin password. I use SNAKE OS V1.3.2 (20101130).
Apart from being unable to connect via Telnet I also have the problem of not 
accepting the password via SSH (PuTTY).
Last week I did a fresh reinstall of Snake-OS, but same results. May changing 
the Admin password cause this problem?
Plse help, because I need to connect to solve another problem (chmod to be able 
to write via FTP).

#4
The web interface and telnet/ssh use seperate passwords. The default password 
for root is "snake".

And.. better late than never... 
#1
I think you are trying to log into an account that was defined from the web 
interface. Those accounts are only supposed to be used by services. To define 
shell accounts use the adduser command.

#3
If I log in with a "homeless" user it just drops me to /. 
You could put the home directory on one of the attached disks. Addusers -h 
option allows you to set a different path for the home directory.

Stefan,
Thanks for your answer. I already tried the combinations admin/snake and 
root/snake (last one should do it), but no success. BTW: I try SSH via WiFi. 
Could that cause a problem (as WiFi seems to generate lots of 'instable' 
communications)? Tonight I'll try LAN connection to see if that solves anything.

No idea. Maybe the wireless router is doing something bad.

Just to make sure. Is the telnet service actually enabled?

If so, do you get the greeting and then it kicks you out.. like in the 
screenshot attached to the original post?

yeah, telnet up and running. And yes, screenshot exactly the same.

That's really strange. Have you tried to reset the config? IIRC the reinstall 
should have done that already, but I can't think of anything else to try.
