You always can log which user account was spoofed to gain access and then a the root account has to be hacked. So this means two barriers. However, I am not an expert about security. I just read that on the same page, once before Greg posted.

Hi,
I just installed Mandrake 10 community edition. Now I got the following problem:
I installed with mode Paranoid so root should be generally unable to login
XSession or console.
I don't think that paranoid level prevents root login entirely, it simply sets a default to prevent root login remotely. I am not sure why you would want to entirely prevent root login from the console, that may be the only way to get into fix problems if something were to get corrupted on the hard drives, like say, the /home partition were corrupted.
