I assume you mean su to root? OpenBSD (which I run) and, afaik other *bsd's
have a "wheel" group that a user must be a member of to su to root.

I don't see anything wrong with these being available to local users. Only
root can ping -f .

I think we should try and have "secure" but "open" systems with the full
availability of the power of Linux. Otherwise why not just have a dos 
prompt?
