Anyone ever considered the fact that a user can log into your Portmasters
and do password guessing for your Unix's root account pretty easily and get
in through a shell account if the password is guessed right?

Maybe I'm not thinking straight but I put these entries in my users file:

## REJECT ATTEMPTS TO LOGIN AS ROOT THROUGH DIALINS #########################$
root Auth-Type = Reject

Proot Auth-Type = Reject, Prefix = "P"

root Auth-Type = Reject, Framed-Protocol = PPP
