Create a file, /etc/securetty, with a line containing "console". The file should only be writable by root.
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.

Put the word CONSOLE in the /etc/securetty file.
This says to only allow direct root logins on the console.
Other users who have the root passwd (hopefully they are your other sys admins) can login as themselves then do "su -" to become the root account.
