I was wondering, is it possible/safe to make kill(1) to not allow it to
kill a root process run from the console? Only the console should be able
to kill those processes and no one else. 

The reason is, I leave a root login on the console at all times... just
incase something stupid happens like the passwd is changed for root or you
can no longer su to root etc because of a compromise or whatever, but if
you have a logged in root already, it'll be easy to fix those. I was
thinking making kill not be able to kill the shell after it was hacked
etc. <rambling>
