it would be very very nice, if someone there who can do this.
i have a "win2008" server for gameservers, some people have access to
"FTP" and "web-interface" to manage the gameserver. (
start/stop/cronjob/ etc.. )
i'm trust those people, this not a problem. but nobody knows if they
have a spyware.
now without "su" the servers are running with "administrator", i'm very
unhappy with this situation now .

yep maybe, but i have no knowledge in this...
i found maybe a possible workaround, but the problem i have is the
"Password prompt"
@ /bin/su:
1.)
#!/usr/bin/bash
echo "thePassword" | runas /savecred /user:${1} ${2}
or
2.)
#!/usr/bin/bash
echo "thePassword" | login ${1} ${2}
anybody ideas or tips?
