        DOH!!! It's not SPOCK'S BRAIN's fault, I didn't notice the
        4.1.4 part to tell him.

        Tony Walton wants to know why you are running 4.1.4.

        Okay, I don't remember if there's a system way to do it.

        Ogg died and willed me no manuals.

        Also, you have stated BOTH

        a) I don't want to allow direct remote root login
        b) I need to allow direct remote root login

        If you want #a:

        Here's a script way to do it. IIRC, I was never able to
        CTL/C out of it to a shell at the right time to get a
        root prompt. Try it yourself.

        Assuming you're running a Bourne shell, edit this into
        the top of /etc/profile:

trap "trap '' 0 1 2 3;exit 1" 0 1 2 3
uid=`id|sed 's/(.*//'`
if [ "$uid" = "uid=0" -a `tty` != "/dev/console" ]
then
    echo "Root logins are only permitted on the console"
    exit
fi
unset uid

        When you need to su to root, use "su" instead of "su -".

        And check/test/hack with /etc/syslog.conf to get the
        logging you want.
