SLES10 su only id

To provide an audit trail of who did what, I'd like to make a shared id 'su only'. I wondered what methods other folks use to prevent direct login to an id on a SLES10 server and allow login only via su. Ann Smith Mainframe Systems Support -zVM and zLinux Support Integrated Technology Delivery

I apologize for mucking up the subject line in my previous post (total newbie mistake). Anyway, the man pages hint that lnxhvc0 might be reserved for the HVC IUCV driver that's built in to the kernel. So it's probably best not to use it as a terminal id for the iucvtty entries in /etc/inittab.

Porting the package properly would work better. I'm not sure I follow. Could you explain? A package that monitors the ECKD hardware and produces alerts, in a similar manner to what the smartmon tools do, would work better. I doubt that the ECKD data could be translated to SMART data without
