Hello list,
I'd like some of the user accounts to su "mysql" without input any
password. Is it possible? How?

You can edit /etc/sudo and make some entries in there for the users and
specify which commands you want them to be able to run without authentication.
You can't edit /etc/sudo directly with vi though, you have to do it with
this command visudo. Here's a sample of what it would look
like for you.
*
# sudoers file.
#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
#
# See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file.
#
# Host alias specification
# User alias specification
# Cmnd alias specification
# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
[user] [hostname] = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/foo
--- this line sets up the user on the machine and
Defaults:[user]!authenticate --
the command to run, without a passwd.
\-- this one tells sudo not to authenticate.
**
If you want to add more commands to that user, then just seperate each
one with a comma. Like so: /usr/bin/foo, /usr/bin/foobar.
The cool thing about visudo is that if you screw it up and make a bad entry
it warns you.
Good luck.
