Do you mean here that the only user who can do 'su' at the moment is
SYSTEM ??

Certainly.  SYSTEM.  But I'd highly recommend using ssh instead of
su.  That way you don't have to create a user with privileges that
opens a security hole just so you can su.  Of course, you can do
so if you prefer.



By default, yes.  It is the only user that's guaranteed to have
the appropriate privileges.  There's been discussions about this
on this list previously if you'd like to know more.
