My immediate response would be to let them have sudo as the common account user, and not su.  If more than one user can su at a time then if there are more than one operating as that user then you still won't know who was responsible for what.  However if you make them sudo as the user to do the things they need to do then you always know who did what...

Subject: Login Restrictions

I have an application running on a Redhat 9 machine that requires being run by a certain user.  I also have security requirements that necessitate logging the actions of all users logged into the system so I can't have two different people log in with the same user name.  Then I won't know who is doing what on the system.  What I would like to do is have a separate user account for each person and then require them to su to the common user account that needs to run the application.  Then I can track the individual logins and know who su'd to the common account and when they did it.  Does anyone know how to disable logins to the common user account while still allowing the account to be functional for when people need to su to it?
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Ted
