Check to see if bastille is installed. I have bastille installed and used it to prevent logins by root at the console. The only way to get root access is to login as a regular user and then su. Perhaps your colleague set it up this way through bastille and forgot. At any rate, check if bastille is installed. If it is, login as a regular user, su, and then run InteractiveBastille. If it's installed, InteractiveBastille should be in /usr/sbin.
