Disable remote access for root user

Hi guys,
On HPUX 11.00 & 11i how do I disable remote(rlogin, remsh, ssh etc...) access for root user.
Also, how do I enable access for root user only at the physical console.

Thanks.
A.K.

Hi A.K.,

yes you can just comment the console line in /etc/login

I like to fix things.
