Just to spread some knowledge, this is not secure at all!

i.e this will still work:

sudo vi
:sh
[root@localhost] su anyuser

In reply to Sven.

@Sven,

Yes, you are right – If a user knows the root password, he can indeed gain access to the root account on a system.

But if the user aaronk knows the root password he can still do a “su – root” (without sudo) to gain root access, right?

In reply to Tecmint Fan. Or if I could spell right "sudoers" not "sodoers" ;-)

In the last code block, you have "sodoers" misspelled as "sudeors"...

$ man su
$ man sudo
$ man sudeors
