- I've got a SGI UNIX box running IRIX (a SVR4 variant, I understand) and
- I need to prevent anyone from logging in as "root" -- requiring them
- to "su" instead of giving "root" at the login: prompt. This is similar
- to what I'd do in BSD when removing the "secure" keyword from individual
- entries in the /etc/ttytab file.
-
- I've looked all over the place for this one, so any help will
- be appreciated -- I know there's gotta be a way to do this.
-
- Please send replies via E-mail, and I will post the summary
- to comp.unix.admin.
