Security vs. DB

Hi all,
In order to allow only a set of users to telnet into the system I have placed the following code in /etc/profile

************************
istelnetuser=`who am i | awk '{print $1}'`
flag=`grep $istelnetuser /etc/telnet_users`
if [ $istelnetuser != admin ]
then
if [ -z "$flag" ]
then
echo "You are not allowed to login"
exit
fi
fi
****************************
where telnet_users is a file that contains all the users that can telnet the system. However, for security reasons root, oracle are not included in this file (i.e., they can not login directly). The problem is that when we reboot the system we want Oracle DB to start up. However, it fails due to not including oracle user in telnet users.
Any help that can achieve both the security and oracle startup goals.

Thanks
Regards
