I'm looking for a tool which I think I'll have to end up making myself.

What I'm looking for....  Let's say there are two logins on a FreeBSD
machine.  On ttyp0 is root, and user fred is logged in on ttyp1.  Fred
can't su to root because he's not in wheel, and he doesn't/won't know the
root pass.  Assuming I'm logged in a root, I'd like to be able to "bless"
fred from my ttyp0 and 'upgrade' his login to root.

Is this feasible or programatically realistic?  Is there such a tool?
What would need to get changed to make this happen?

Thx.
