Is there some way that you can limit user access from xdm ?
I have xdm running on a Sparc 1+ for a collection of X terminals.
I do not want anyone signing on as root from the xlogin wigit.
Is there some way to do this ? 
Should I be looking at the /etc/ttytab file ?
I am running SUN O/S 4.1, Openwindows / X11R4.
