To disable remote login access for your root user, edit the /etc/security/user file. Specify False as the rlogin value on the entry for root.
To have bash as default shell
- Edit /etc/passwd. Instead of that other shell, add the path to bash at the end of line having your username. Also change user id to "0" to be root (superuser) if other root users do not want bash as default shell. So, you login with your username and became superuser with bash.
- If you do not have root access and have for example ksh as your default shell, edit .profile in your home directory and enter /usr/bin/bash as a line
