Hi

To be safe make /etc/securetty and put in the word console and readable only by all

Then root can only login at the console.

If you want to allow other places add to list

Hi,

Implement sudo http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/sudo-1.6.6/

Then change the root password and don't tell anyone.
