neither lshd nor sshd or telnetd could prevent the use of su, because they simply start a shell where the user can start the command su, as -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 29116 2002-09-09 22:05 /bin/su sshd and lshd no *nothing* about this, they just provide the transport. If you want to prevent this, chroot the user, give him a shell with a restricted set of commands, or change /bin/su so it is not world executable: chmod 4750 /bin/su and add the users that may use su to the group owning su - Alex PS: SSH=Secure Shell has a misleading name, it doesn't provide a shell, just a secure channel. The shell is still your default login shell, e.g. /bin/bash ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ObjectStore.
