[sudo-users] kill

[Galen Johnson]

This was why I recommended webmin (www.webmin.com).  If you are needing to empower certain users beyond what sudo allows easily, webmin takes care of this for you.  I wouldn't recommend webmin as a substitute for sudo but it definitely gives you control over many aspects that sudo doesn't...it's come a long way over the last few years.

I would suggest writing a helper program to ensure this.  You could
use 'perl -T' for this.  Have the helper ensure that it will not kill
root processes.  Then allow users to run the helper with sudo.

Writing the helper is left as an exercise for the reader.  :-)
