HiLinuxconf allows a non-root user to change the root password?!?!
I was chatting to a guy on yahoo the other day, he wants to set up rhl 7.3 so a user cannot change the root password, or shutdown the computer, I was under the impression that normal users can't change the root password anyway, but the second point they can as in the old linuxconf program somewhere there is a setting to say what users can do.
He was on about using sudo, which I looked up to be a more useful version of su, (sounds like something I should look into myself at some point).
any ideas.
