Better way is to restrict to specific commands with sudo - www.sudo.ws


It is also available as a part of Internet Express package.

Hi

Sudo is the best option to track the users.

But if u wanna exception rather than sudo, have a look at this thread

Thanks for quick response,
But requirement is i dont want to restrict user, i want to provide su access to userA to root with out provide root password.
because i planned to grant su access to userA for one day, then it will be revoked. So i need to provide su access to userA to su - root.
how can i achive this?


please advice,

If you really want to give somebody a root shell without turning over the password you can configure their sudo access to allow running "su -" or any shell as root.
