Append "secure" to the ptty lines in /etc/ttys, and send a SIGHUP to init. like so: # Pseudo terminals ttyp0 none network secure ttyp1 none network secure ttyp2 none network secure ttyp3 none network secure ttyp4 none network secure .... > P.S. - I understand the security risk. [for the benefit of our general readership]: The right thing is to use su after logging in as a normal user. It is helpful to install tcpwrappers from the ports, and limit telnet access in /etc/hosts.allow|hosts.deny (man hosts_access). The last standard advice is to consider ssh.
