telnet should be disabled. Not premitting remote login via root but
allowing telnet is a bit like putting a big lock on your door, but leaving
all of your windows open.

Just prevent root login. I have no idea what "root-equivalent personal
accounts " are. When you log in as a user, you can always run
su
to become root.
