Sure, it's really simple. Stop this nonsense everybody logging in as root at once. Use the UNIX security provided by permissions, do not try to invent your own. Every user can have rights they need to do their thing - but nothing more!

Without a modified kernel, its impossible to stop the root user, and as Emerson said, theres no real reason to do it, unless of course you broke into someone else's computer and are trying to blackmail them or install a backdoor. Either way, theres no point in doing what you say, installing a backdoor would be futile, and using it as a security model is broken.
