How about un-commenting the lines in question, and editing them so that, instead of firing up the service, they call a script that updates a log file and prints out an appropriate message (just as a courtesy to let people know why they can't rlogin in). (To minimise potential security holes, edit the user field to something other than root. Running scripts with super-user permissions is a very bad idea!)
