A new version of access allows execution of files with others privilages given
their permission. For a quick su, you merely have to make the access control
file entry as follows:
toroot	<userid>	/bin/sh
(if a user prefers csh, it cn be used a well)

	This allows selected users to execute (a well as access) files as if
they were the owner (with setuid privs), and thus for root, executing the
shell with setuid provides full root privilages.

	The system design comes through again - go UNIX
