Re: how to add the group in su file
I don't think it is possible to have more than 1 group defined in the SU_ROOT_GROUP. My understanding is that there can only be 1 group listed there.
To get around this why not create a 3rd group that you put ALL users that need to 'su ' to root into. Then add that group to the SU_ROOT_GROUP line in /etc/default/security.
I will not go into the security implications of having LOTS of users with the ability to become root other than I think it is a bad idea.
