The easiers way to lock out other users is to become "su" and give it a passwd
using the "passwd" command". Then only those knowing the password can become
super user.
"su" is also used for a user to become another user, it is also substitute user,
this is for one user to have access to another's file and environment by 
becomming him/her. The othere user can have password to protect anyone from
becoming him/her.
