i'm probably a bit late to butt in here, but what would have been
wrong with having something like this in root's .login file:

if ( `logname` == "root" ) echo "...."

it requires no changes to su or anything else...it just won't quite
work right if /usr isn't mounted.  of course...in that case just about
anyone people logging in would *be* root.

i just tested a few things (on 1.3.3, um...btw, does anything have an
account on a -current machine they could lend me for a hour or so?)
and found that:

		`logname`	$LOGNAME	$USER
login		root		root		root
su		andrew		andrew		andrew
su -		andrew		root		root
su -l		andrew		root		root
