Nope. sudo provides this functionality. 'su' allows you to become an effective user. To use 'su' to execute root commands, you require the root password. What, exactly, are you protecting against. Better, IMO, to use sudo to invoke su, and restrict rights to do so to specified users. For restricted commands access, use the tool designed for this task, sudo. -- Karsten M.
