maybe I'm missing something, but isn't sudo what you'd want here? newer=20 versions of sudo support -s which gives the person a root shell. Before t= here=20 was support for -s, the command I would let people run would be=20 /bin/some_shell. If someone hammered something I would look to see who us= ed=20 sudo last... it's not definitive because I don't use accounting, but it g= ave=20 me an idea on whom to go talk too... the only part that doesn't jive with sudo would be: > > > Hi!
