When you run "sudo su", what you are doing is running sudo then authenticating to it, and running su, as root, after you authenticate to sudo. > On the work servers I enforce "sudo su" =20 Actually, you could just have people use "sudo -i" or "sudo -s" if they want a shell with root access. If they want to run a program with root privileges and the root environment, they can use "sudo -i command".
