Path: utzoo!attcan!uunet!cos!hqda-ai!jay From: jay@hqda-ai.ARPA (Jay Hiser) Newsgroups: comp.unix.questions Subject: want to restrict root to su only Summary: using SysVR2, want to disenable login to root, want su only Keywords: security, su, login, Message-ID: <7285@hqda-ai.ARPA> Date: 14 Jul 88 20:08:13 GMT Organization: CBSI@Washington, D.C. Lines: 14 As delivered by CCI and used by my predecessors for years, my hosts allow root to login directly. Politics prevent me from limiting access to the root password as much as I'd like, but I can get away with making them use su only (they probably don't even know about the su.log :) ). Unfortunately, I don't have access to the source for login. My sys uses System V Rev 2 (CCI 2.22)). Root currently uses sh, since I'm the only one who knows csh (no ksh yet). While I'm on the subject of security, I'm also interested in monitoring login attempts -- especially attempts through the dial-in modem. getty doesn't offer much help for a dial-in, but its what I've got. Thank you for your suggestions,
