Wheel group

I seem to remember that there is a way to limit which users are allowed to use the su command by restricting usage to the wheel group, but I can't find any documentation. Could someone out there steer me in the right direction?

Hi,

Have a look at sudo : http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/sudo-1.6.2b1/

With this tool, you can write more complex rules.

Regards,

Patrice.

You can create a group, and then add the users of can access to su.

And then chgrp /usr/bin/su, and chmod 4550 /usr/bin/su

eg, group sudo

chgrp sudo /usr/bin/su
chmod 4550 /usr/bin/su
