Prevent log in as root

[Kevin Krieser]

You may want to look at /etc/securetty.

But be aware that, once someone becomes root by any mechanism, they
could undo your change.

Also, you may want to put a password on grub so someone can't just break
into single user mode and change things that way.

Also, this doesn't prevent one from booting off a CD distribution like
knoppix and editing things that way too.

Is there a way to Prevent anyone from logging in as root. I what them to
only log in as admin and su to root. What would I change to make this
work?
