The manager tells his employees that if you do X, it is grounds for dismissal.

Re: su restrictions on HPUX 11.23
Hi:
First, having multiple 'root' (UID=0) accounts is extremely poor security and second, quite dangerous if you (or your successor) forget that the alternate account is really a root one and remove files "belonging" to it.
Unix doesn't care what you call the account. What matters is that the account maps to UID=0. This is why you can't get your 'su' to prompt for a password. As far as the software is concerned, you *are* root.
I suggest that you install 'sudo'. This tool allows you to confer root privileges, to users specified in the 'sudoers' configuration file and allows you to track activity. You can obtain a binary for installation from the HP-UX Porting Centre:

Regards!

as an alternative, you can use HIDS:
