Run XP?

Seriously, this is something that in practice cannot be done. You can
setup multiple account names for entering the root or number 0 user ID.
All this does is weaken your security. It does not enhance anything.
The proper technique is enable "sudo" and have the users prefix "sudo "
to their commands which must be run as root. And even that is not all
that safe. "su -l -c <command string>" is somewhat better yet even
though it is more typing. It requires actual knowledge of the root
password rather than access to an account that is sudo enabled.
