If you were to limit root access (very good, we all do that...) start by allowing root connection to console only ( Yes only one! )
I thought about this but then I imagined a situation when e.g. tty1 freezes with root logged in.
I don't want to restart a system if it isn't really necessary - that's why I want to log in 2 times as root.

For "How to", there are plenty of threads on the subject on unix.com, do a bit of search!
I've read about it but it doesn't work like expected:
- root can login as much as he/she like although I've inserted the line showed here in 1st post
- maxsyslogins doesn't take root logins in effect
in manual there is explained:
To set a limit for the root user, this field must contain the literal username root.
maybe my english isn't good enough to convert the meaning into the right config line...
