Re: /etc/securetty file to limit access of root only to the console
To prevent root from logging in via ssh, modify the sshd.config file and look for the 'PermitRootLogin line. Change this to 'no'.
The location of the file is in /opt/ssh/etc if you installed the HP version of Secure Shell. If you have the SSL download version it could be elsewhere.
The newest version of HP's Secure Shell will honor the securetty file contents.

Re: /etc/securetty file to limit access of root only to the console
try a: $ man login
put the "console" as the first entry in the securetty file. Test using another window and stay connected as root on your first window. Also, verify that you can get on the CONSOLE device via telnet to the GSP's IP address before writing this file out.
If using SSH, you might want to verify a test and you might have to update the SSH login definitions to only-ALLOW a set of login-names and Dis-ALLOW all others.

Don't forget not to use # or @ in roots password. Otherwise root will not be able to log in at the console
