A user with sudoer privileges is able to get root using "sudo su -". I find this extremely irritating. I prefer to keep access to root limited number of administrators in my organisation, but the applications running on the system require the application owners to be able to run root only commands. It seems this be a global behavior, I have seen it on RHEL, Fedora and AIX5.3. Is there a way to force the system to request for the root password? Or restrict 'sudo' users from using 'su'?
From the replies I got, I see that sudo is not the way to do it if I don't have the choice to be as restrictive as I want to be. Is there a way to force "su" to ask for the root password regardless of the manner in which the command is invoked?
