We need to create an account that will allow certain users to perform
certain tasks, however we do not users to be able to log in as that account
because we couldn't track the login. What would be acceptable is to have an
account that would be unable to log on in any manner other than using su. I
have found a lot of information on how to prevent root from logging in
through telnet, but nothing that addresses this situation. Your thoughts,
please?

Our glory is not in never falling, but rising every time we fall.
