I'm a little fuzzy on Solaris, but it doesn't allow root login via ftp by 
default.  There are some modifications that need to be made to allow this, 
some files that come to mind are /etc/default/login, or /etc/ftpusers. 
Wait, I just did a google search and the files you are looking for are in 
/etc/ftpd if you are running Solaris 9 or 10.
