A colleague sent me the following note:


A less painful (for the system modification unaware) way to lock it up on
an AIX machine is:


   1. Enter SMIT (as root)
   2. Follow this path:
      Security & Users
      Users
      Change / Show Characteristics of a User
      User NAME (enter root)
   3. Change "User can RLOGIN" to false
   4. Click "Do"
