>>>I need a mechanism to restrict root logins to the console.

  chuser telnet=false rlogin=false

should do the trick if your other terminals are on the network.
If you have both network and serial terminals, you're going to
have to go to the secondary authentication methods mentioned
earlier.

        Any resemblance between the above and the official IBM
                  position is purely coincidental.
