Hello,
Is there a way to control which user accounts can use 'su' when using ssh?
I want only a couple of users to be able to change to root when using ssh.

This is one place where I think he's gone too far. While hackers, such
as him, believe that anyone should have free run of a system, such a

If I own a business, then it's well within my rights
to allow some employees root access, and to deny it
to others.
Why?
Because *I* own the machine, not Richard Stallman.
The addittions to GPL from version 2 to Version 3
are...well, nice in an ideal world, but, entirely
unrealistic in the actual world, and, I fear,
counter-productive in the long run. This is why
Linus decided not keep the kernal under v2.
