use sudo. It's a "su" replacement which can be configured to allow some "normal"
users to execute some privileged commands.

Subject: [Solaris-Users] Root Privileges for a Non-Root User


One of our users would like to set up a standard user account that has
root privileges, and wants to know which group to make that user a
member of in order to accomplish this.  Any ideas?


[Disclaimer: I have already warned the user that this is not a wise
practice and that su is probably a better approach.  But it's not my
computer and isn't on our network, so who am I to deny the request?]
