Since the users have access to the server as root, there's little you can do. The only thing I can think of is creating an encrypted volume that is mounted only on-demand. But during that time it's just as accessible as everything else.
By the way, when the higher-ups decided to share the root password, did they think of a way how to discover the person responsible in case something bad happens? rm -rf is a quick, yet deadly command...

We want to secure access to a server by restricting the number of users who can login to it. Our users are NIS users. Only few of them can telnet/ssh this server.
Do you have any idea on how to implement that?

aoe-discover
aoe-discover(8) System Manager's Manual aoe-discover(8)
NAME
aoe-discover - tell aoe driver to discover AoE devices
SYNOPSIS
aoe-discover
DESCRIPTION
The aoe-discover command tells the aoe driver to discover ATA over Ethernet (AoE) devices on the network. All network interfaces will be
probed with a AoE config query broadcast.
If the aoe-interfaces command has limited the allowable network interfaces, only devices discovered via allowable interfaces will become
available. The default is to make available all AoE devices found on all accessible ethernet networks.
It's good to run the aoe-discover command after running aoe-interfaces.
EXAMPLE
In this example, the root user on a host named nai loads the aoe module with only eth0 allowable for AoE traffic. After remembering that
shelf 7 is on eth3, this sysadmin uses aoe-interfaces to add eth3 to the list of allowable network interfaces and then calls aoe-discover
to ask the aoe driver to look for new AoE devices.
nai:~# modprobe aoe aoe_iflist="eth0"
nai:~# aoe-stat
e10.9 eth0 up
nai:~# aoe-interfaces eth0 eth3
nai:~# aoe-discover
nai:~# aoe-stat
e7.0 eth3 up
e7.1 eth3 up
e7.2 eth3 up
e7.3 eth3 up
e7.4 eth3 up
e7.5 eth3 up
e7.6 eth3 up
e7.7 eth3 up
e7.8 eth3 up
e7.9 eth3 up
e10.9 eth0 up
