Hi all:
I am running sudo version 1.6.6. I would like to avoid any user the "sudo -s" command which opens a terminal giving the user full root access just like a root user essentially negating sudo. Is there any way to prevent users from giving this command ?
Your help in this is appreciated.

in our current system if an admin needs root access he just gets the root password and uses an su.
some of our staff have decided that a sudo to "/bin/sh" will be easer.
some of our staff think a sudo to "su -" will be better.

create_clearinghouse
create clearinghouse(1m) create clearinghouse(1m)
NAME
create clearinghouse - Creates a clearinghouse on the local server system or makes an existing clearinghouse available
SYNOPSIS
cdscp create clearinghouse clearinghouse-name
ARGUMENTS
The full name of the clearinghouse.
DESCRIPTION
The create clearinghouse command creates a clearinghouse on the local server system or makes an existing clearinghouse available. The
server start-up command usually creates a new clearinghouse when you configure a new CDS server. Occasionally, you may need to create a
second clearinghouse on a particular server; for example, if you are temporarily relocating a clearinghouse on a different server. See the
OSF DCE Administration Guide for more information about relocating a clearinghouse.
Clearinghouses should be named only in the root. When you enter the command, CDS creates a read-only replica of the root directory and
stores it in the new clearinghouse as the initial replica. Because the process that creates the new clearinghouse initiates a skulk of the
root directory, all replicas of the root should be reachable when you enter the command.
Privilege Required
You need write permission to the server on which you intend to create the clearinghouse and administer permission to the cell root direc-
tory. The server principal needs read, write, and administer permission to the cell root directory.
NOTES
This command is usually executed only by the network configuration procedure. To ensure that all replicas of the root are reachable, per-
form an immediate skulk of /.: prior to issuing this command.
This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.
EXAMPLE
The following command creates a clearinghouse named /.:/Boston_CH on the local server system: cdscp> create clearinghouse /.:/Boston_CH
