Dudes and Dudettes,
Got a quick answer. Thanks to all that responded. I'm too embarrased to
name all of you ;^) .
My original question:

>CONSOLE=/dev/console

>this does not disable root login from the console.
The bottom line:
> This file's CONSOLE entry can actually be used in a variety of ways:
>
> 1) CONSOLE=/dev/console (default) - direct root logins only on console
> 2) CONSOLE=/dev/ttya - direct root logins only on /dev/ttya
> 3) CONSOLE= - direct root logins disallowed everywhere
> 4) #CONSOLE (or delete the line) - root logins allowed everywhere
Thanks!!!
