yep, just noticed this and sure enough you are right

I implemented the patch and sure enough I am able to ssh in as root with 
remote login as root disabled...I am happy / Audit is happy/ and my 
company will be happy  that we saved 125,000 + in license fees

I think this code needs to put into the default codebase, AIX admins 
like myself would die for this code


Thanks
