that way, you can control EXACTLY which commands they can run
(for example, that way, a user can't go and delete some other
user's account, or make his own "extra" account, or any other
item from an unending list of mayhem).
There's a reason that YOU are the administrator and they aren't.
Therefore, they have no business being allowed to su to root
when sudo is available for ue.

Hello,
Is there a way to control which user accounts can use 'su' when using ssh? I
want only a couple of users to be able to change to root when using ssh.
Don't use su...
use sudo.
