Re: [expert] /etc/login.defs
basically what I want to do is allow only people who belong to the wheel group, to be able to use the command su. as for the getpass_asterisks, it means it will echo 3 asterisks for each keystroke when you're entering your password. just to confuse you and anyone else looking over your shoulder :) I'm not paranoid.. :).

For those things, you can use linuxconf which is accessible from drakconf. You can get more fine-grained than that if you like with settings for privileges per user as well as privileges per group. And a user can belong to several groups.

The security system in Mandrake is based on Pluggable Authentication Modules (pam) and mandrake security tools (msec) file:/usr/share/doc/HOWTO/HTML/en/Secure-Programs-HOWTO-9.html#ss9.6 discusses PAM file:/usr/share/doc/msec-0.15/msec.ps discusses msec. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/Linux-PAM-html/pam.html is probably what you want to administer your system, by setting /etc/pam.d.
