If you disable root telnet login in yast that's all they'll EVER get when attempting to telnet in as root. As I recall it's the default behavior (in other words, you have to ENABLE root telnet logins in yast).

I don't know how he showed me my logon prompt. I was in IRC and he just popped it up in IRC. The log just showed the IP address he was coming from and that someone had tried unsuccessfully to login as ROOT.
