SSH2

[Patrick Campbell]

It doesn't need to stop there.  Does RedHat use suauth? (I am a Slackware
user).

If you edit (or create) /etc/suauth and add:
root:ALL EXCEPT GROUP wheel:DENY

Only users of the wheel group will be able to su.  Like how FreeBSD is
setup.

I actually just locked myself out by adding this (woops :)

No, it does not.  The thinking is to make it harder for somebody to
figure out a username and password for SSH login and then trying to
figure out a password to su - to root.  Since it takes more time to
figure out usernames and passwords than just passwords, you are more
likely to discover the break in attempt.
