no init 5 if rlogin

Solaris 8/10 on Ultra 10/45. We have a system where we are always using rlogin as root. I know, very dangerous. But anyway, I sometimes init 6 (reboot) the wrong remote machine on accident. How can I setup a script (or something) that wont let you init 5 or init 6 if there are rlogin connections? Or in other words, I only want to be able to init 6 these machines if I am PHYSICALLY sitting in front of it!! Any idears?
Thank ya!! :-)

I would imagine you could add something to the profile that checks the term type and if not the local machine alias's init 5 to echo "uh uh uh, you didn't say the magic word" or some such.
