Security problem with local root user on SUN workstations

We run into a big security problem on our SUN local network when a user
who has access to root (on the local workstation) decides to "su" to
any valid username on the YP server, and therefore access any file
he wants.
Since I cannot keep track of all local root users in the SUN NFS
environment, how can I get around this serious problem ?
Any hint/advice would be greatly appreciated.
