How can I turn off root login for the console?
Don't mean to ask stupid questions just forgotten.
Thanks

edit /etc/securetty and remove the entries. You'll need to have the file
there at least, even if it's empty.

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
So, you don't have to leave the console entry in /etc/securetty?
I thought that was necessary to be able to su to root.
