Has anyone implemented some sort of "su to root" modifier that only allows people in a certain group to su to root? Our Alliants (running Concentrix 5.5, which as I understand it, is of a BSD origin) have a great su utility that lets only the users listed in a certain group have access to the "su root" stuff. Since the SGIs are System V, and System V is suppose to be more secure than BSD, is this sort of thing in the works (maybe in 3.2?) or does it already exist?
