7.2 is getting a bit old and I don't have any specific recollection of
the errata and other issues from that distro.

I would make sure that all of the errata updates were installed and that
would likely take care of it.

Otherwise, you might want to search through the archives...

Also, since you have posted separately regarding securing in X & at
console, you probably shouldn't forget how easy it is to defeat all of
the security by booting in linux single mode or with a boot disk.
