Sure, you mean like this command:
sudo su root
???
Luckily...that option will fail using sudo...and it will be logged that it was attempted. I see where you are going with this Scott and there is an option that will work to give you a root shell, but I don't want to advertise that. That unadvertised command...if issued...would also be logged and lists the userid of the person who used the command. So there is some trail to track back to the original user.

This will force those users to simply type "sudo" (w/o quotes) at the beginning of each command they want to run (i.e. sudo psql db_name "insert into....").
