Hi all,

I know that the matter of the su command has been raised her before, and
searching the archive, does not give me quite what we want/need.

What we want is to su from root to a user without giving that user's
password (like we could do under version 4.0x). I have read in the archives
that by adding ptys to /etc/securettys, and then logging in as root, allows
you to do this, but we wish to restrict root logins to the console.

Does anyone have an idea or better yet a solution to this.

Thanks in advance
