I'm assuming that you're running at a msec level less than 4, at which 
point root login gets disabled by default. :-)

Edit /etc/security/level.local (create it if it's not already there) and 
put in the lines:

allow_remote_root_login no
allow_root_login no

The first one keeps people who are ssh'ing in from logging in directly as 
root, the second line stops direct root login at the console.  Then run 
msec to apply the changes (they will stay in place even through your next 
reboot).

HTH.
