Julien,
on most UNIX system this is controlled by /etc/securetty file. The
entries in it, one per line, specify which tty devices are allowed root
login. My /etc/securetty on HP-UX system has one line only:
/dev/console, that takes care of it.
I've just tried it on my test ltsp server and i can still log in
as root! drat! now i want to know how to disable it too. julius
