Personally, I edited /etc/ttys and only marked the FIRST tty as secure on
my other NetBSD box. That allows me to telnet in as root from my Mac once.
Since I keep that connection open (i.e. I never log root off from there)
tty00 is always in use, so it gives me a "reasonably" secure setup. If you
were to mark them ALL as secure, then someone could conceivably hack in as
root from anywhere.
