Then just under what circumstances _do_ you want root to be able to login?
Currently root can only login from the console, meaning one of the 6
available tty's. Remote access is not allowed by root by default.
You can prevent root from logging in on the console as well, by deleting
all the entries in /etc/securetty, which defines the permissible login
tty's.
