I want to allow root to login from anywhere on my local area network, but
NOT from over the Internet (SLIP link), while allowing other users to
login from the Internet as well. How would I set this up?

Install "login" from version 1.39 or later of the poeigl package (Poe's
init, getty, and login). This will be available from sunsite, or from the
distribution site (ftp://ftp.daimi.aau.dk/pub/linux/poe).

Using the documentation and the examples in the package, you can create
an /etc/usertty file that will allow root to login from the local
network only. Remember to remove root from /etc/securetty.

Later,
Ashok
