I guess there is a easy possibility to allow the command 'su' only to a small group of users. Perhaps someone of you can send me a hint!
Yep: * add the users to the group 'wheel': usermod -G wheel tom usermod -G wheel dick usermod -G wheel harry * change the group and permissions on /bin/su so that it can only be accessed by members of the group 'wheel' chgrp wheel /bin/su chmod 4750 /bin/su I picked the group 'wheel' since this is what, historically, Unix systems have used for this function.
