    User Name = root

    "Another user can SU TO USER?" = true
    "User can LOGIN?" = false
    "User can LOGIN REMOTELY?" = false

    Hi,

    Have a look at the tty clause in /etc/security/user. The default user is usually set to have "ttys = ALL"; you can set specific ttys or block specific ttys for the root user.
