Very bad idea, you don't have a console any more !!!

This works because root is allowed to log on the console (that is, a tty
named '/dev/console').

Permission for root to log in or not are described in  the file /etc/ttys
Just mark the ttyp* as secure and you'll be able to log in from
the network (as long as your tty isn't called .nfsfoo).
