It appears to no longer even be possible to circumvent the suggested
usage of root account and allow root logins.

Anyone know for sure if it is still possible to enforce an old
fashioned root account with regular login access?  If so how might it
be done?

On oi its no harder than `rolemod -K type=normal root' and then allow
root login in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

That does not work on sol11.  Even editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config, there
appears to be some extra editing needed on involving pam.
