like George said, use sudo, you can set up specific users to do root tasks.

is it not a security problem to know the name of su on a system to get easier into it ?

extremely bad security practice...
create a real user and add that user to group root in /etc/group

if you are a risk taker, just use root. but as i said, extremely bad security practice.


is there a reason for it?

can anyone tell me how to rename the root user?
I'd like to have only a root user but with another name?
Thanks
