Wollman" Message-Id: <199507122011.NAA23674@freefall.cdrom.com> To: CVS-commiters, cvs-usrbin Subject: cvs commit: src/usr.bin/su su.c Sender: cvs-usrbin-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk wollman 95/07/12 13:11:23 Modified: usr.bin/su su.c Log: Added support for an LCS-style `wheel su' which allows users in group wheel to su to root by authenticating as themselves (using a password or S/Key) rather than by using the root password. This is useful in contexts like ours, where a large group of people need root access to a set of machines. (However, the security implications are such that this should not be enabled by default.) The code is conditionalized on WHEELSU.
