This may not make a huge amount of sense, but basically, root is there to be used when it has to be used, not as a convenience. If I could figure out how (mostly a time thing at the moment) I'd remove root login from my Linux server. sudo works fine.

Make /etc/securetty an empty file.

Also consider setting "PermitRootLogin no" in sshd_config, and removing the SUID bit on /bin/su.
