Lightbulb Telneting in as ROOT is NO NO

From your posting you want to track users who are logging in as Root and what they are doing.

Easiest way is to block root from telneting in from remote connections. Force the users to login as themselves and then "su" over to root. You can then log all su attempts (successful and un-successful) and track the people backwards across the servers.

Basic Security rule is to only allow Root to login from the Console Terminal physically located at the server.
