Limiting the use of the 'su' command to specific groups related to 'su'.

in Linux 1 comment

I intend to create a 'wheel' group and modify permissions for groups related to 'su' command usage so that only those groups can utilize the 'su' command. Additionally, I plan to add accounts that require 'su' command usage.

The following are the steps outlined for the above method:

1) Create the 'wheel' group : #groupadd wheel

2) Change the group for the 'su' command. : #chgrp wheel/usr/bin/

3) Modify permissions for 'su' command usage. : #chmod 4750/usr/bin/su

4) Register accounts allowed to use the 'su' command in the 'wheel' group.: wheel:x10: -> wheel:x:10:root, admin

Would there be any implications for OPC usage or OCI server aspects if the changes are made as mentioned above?
