Re: [Jailkit-users] SU problem in jail

[Čaniga Stanislav]

Hi Oliver

Thanks for looking into this:

What I want to achieve is: disabled root ssh login (already works),  
and having only few users in a "su" group, that are able to execute  
the su, to be able to su to the root user and manage the system. I  
want all users to be chrooted and only those in the "su"group can su.
