You are right that opening root to remote access a machine via any way 
(telnet/rsh/ssh) is asking for trouble. Root should only be via CONSOLE or SU...

I guess another point is the way the exploit was released, since I believe that 
it was release on the web before notifying Sun about it, which is very 
Irresponsible.
