I guess to state what i mean more accurately, while the su attempts are
logged in linux AND BSD, disallowing remote root logins means a person must
login as themself FIRST, then SU, thus allowing all changes they have made
to be tracked to them more easily, correct?  Is this the accountability that
was referred to?
