No, not under any distro I'm familiar with... It's under /etc/securetty...
You add the tty of the device you want to allow root access to, like
pts/0... DON'T DO THIS THOUGH, unless you don't care that your root password
will be sent PLAINTEXT over the internet...
That being said, I like almost everyone else, recommend ssh *and* su, though I'm guilty of logging in as root across the internet with ssh.
Nah. Private key authentication is probably more secure for this. I have my ssh servers generally set up to require key authentication and deny password authentication. This does effectively force me to su with ssh because I haven't set up the key authentication for the root account, but I am still not sure that there is that much more to be gained.
