Unfortunately, Richard Stallman wants everyone who can log in to a machine to have root access (see the end comment in "info:su"), so there is no built-in way in su of doing this What you can do is to change the ownership of /bin/su to the group "wheel", change the permissions on it to 4750, and add the users you want to have access to the wheel group Or, alternatively, you can remove access to su completely, and use sudo instead, which does allow more fine grained control, through /etc/sudoers ~~~~ Thank you.
