A very similar discussion was held on this list in October and the conclusion was that 2 of the documented ways of doing this (/etc/suauth and PAM) did not work. Of course, things may have changed now. Have the people suggesting PAM actually tried it and confirmed that it does indeed restrict who can su to root?
It was suggested to me, and after adding my user name to group wheel (gid 10, not 0) in addition to group root, it works. This is on SuSE 7.1. Egan
