Xwindow root login problem

   This mailing list's archives is full of questions and summaries
   on "How to enable to root login from Xwindows?" I have the reverse
   problem.

        How to DISABLE root login from Xwindows?

   Here is the /etc/securettys file:

   /dev/console
   local:0
   :0
   /dev/lat/625
   /dev/lat/626

   But users can login directly to root from xCursion. The weirdest
   thing is that these logins to root do not even get recorded in
   the /var/adm/syslog.dated/*/auth.log files!

   The systems are Tru64 v5.1 - one with Patch #3; other without the
   patch.

   Any suggestions on where to look for trouble spots will be greatly
   appreciated.

   Thanks,
