Hi everybody!
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!
Even better, use sudo to allow certain users to execute certain commands. See `man sudo` and `man sudoers`. The old way of limiting su access was to add users to the "wheel" group. Use pam_wheel? http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/Linux-PAM-html/pam-6.html#ss6.29 Tom.
