As root he'd be able =)to su to anything. How about NFS/rdist permissions? There was no .rhosts file in root until he created it and the contents were just two +'s which I deleted the files afterwards but he still got back on. hosts.equiv is whatever FreeBSD shipped with, I never configure that file. Don't have NFS or rdist running either.
