If you really must allow root access, after adding the relevent entries to the /etc/securrity file. You *could* then restrict root access to limited hosts via the /etc/login.access file. (OK I guess you could do this via hosts.allow/deny too). In login.access add a line like... -:root:ALL EXCEPT some.host1 some.other.host LOCAL That will allow root logins only from local (console) and some.host1 and some.other.host Might not be the best way, but better than just allowing root access from anywhere (suicide).
