     One thing you need to do less of is listen to rumors and RTFM more.

Of course, if they SU (which means they know the password, which means YOU
gave it to them) then they can get passwords.  Which brings me to my other
point:

     For God's sake, people, TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY ALREADY!  Or don't
be an administrator, if you can't handle giving out privileges
responsibly.  YES, if you allow other people root privileges they can
wreak havoc with Services.  That's the WAY THINGS ARE.  If you don't like
that then don't set a password for crying out loud.

>Will there be a way to disable the SU command?

     RTFM and/or see above; there already is.  I don't even know why I'm
replying to this.
