Restrict "sqlplus / as sysdba"

I have need to set an environment where a number of users sudo into Oracle (sudo su - oracle) and then happily get into the database using BEQ protocol by using sqlplus / as sysdba. Try as hard as I may, but I cannot restrict the sudo'ing into Oracle as its the 'norm' within the organization. I would like to restrict the "sqlplus / as sysdba" on production boxes. DBA's will login as themselves or SYS as sysdba, if they know the password.
We are running 11gr2 on Oracle Linux 5.4 and all databases are running on a 2-node 64-bit RAC cluster. 

I have tried setting sqlnet.authentication_services=(NONE), in the sqlnet.ora. This seems to work fine and address my exact requirement. But srvctl commands to start/stop database/instance fail with ora-1031. 

Howdy, Stranger!
