preventing users from logging in as root from X emulator

We are using Exceed and logging in with /usr/bin/X11/xterm. I have created an /etc/securetty file with only console. I have tried creating /etc/dt/config/Xsession.d/0001.noroot. Any other ideas? This is HP-UX 11.00.

This should prevent root access via telnet you might want to turn on logging of telnet via inetd and get rid of all rhosts entries
Also if you edit inetd.sec and allow only the machines you want to log in it would be a bit more secure.
Minimum effort maximum output!

Shayne,

To prevent users from loging as root from X emulator.
Copy Xstartup from /usr/dt/config to /etc
Modify Xstartup to prevent users from loging as root.
