If I could figure out how (mostly a time thing at the moment) I'd remove root login from my Linux server. sudo works fine.Make /etc/securetty an empty file.
Also consider setting "PermitRootLogin no" in sshd_config, and removing the SUID bit on /bin/su.
I never allow ssh root logins. Thanks for the other tips though. After using MacOS X you get used to not having a root account ;)
