Hi Langston,
I already go through your question and summary on sunmanagers site. I
understand your question but not very clear with your summary. In my
understanding your question is how a perticuler user like joe only change
his effective user id (using su command). In your system already sudo is
installed.
And you create one Cmnd_List named PSOFT who execute the su command making
the appropiate entry in sudoers file. you put joe in the PSOST group.
As per your mail you put the entry in sudoers file below..
Cmnd_Alias PSOFT=/usr/bin/su
joe ALL=PSOFT
That means only joe user can invoke the su command.
Now can root user able to execute the su command? We are not editing any
thing in /etc/default/login file and there is not below entry in sudoers
file..
root ALL = (ALL) ALL
Hope you will help me in my learning experience.
Regards
Gora Dasgupta
