[comp.unix.aix] root logins & "su" to root

como@max.bnl.gov (Andrew T. Como) (01/11/91)

Has anyone been successful in restricting 
1. root logins to a specific terminal 
2. still allow "su" to root from all terminals

Appreciate anyone's help

The restriction for tty's is applied to both login and su.
