Can pam_list.so limit root "su" ?

Hello,
I'm trying to understand if pam_list.so can limit root from "su" to anyone.

The traditional solution, without pam_list.so, would be to set "compat" on /etc/nsswitch.conf and restrict access from /etc/passwd.

I'd like to have root "su" restrictionsl whatever user database is used, not only NIS, thus the interest in doing so from a central system-wide location as PAM.

Do you know a possible solution?

Thanks in advance,
Carlos.

Howdy, Stranger!
