Audit isn't security and in this case doesn't buy you anything (the interesting trace would be the remote IP and possibly TCP port and/or ident username in both cases, the local non-root user name doesn't matter). Using "su root" essentially means the user account (not necessarily the human user, just the account) has root privileges. I think most beginners aren't aware of this. -- Krzysztof Halasa -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
