This one should allow the admin to grant some users some rights, and instead of asking for root password, those users would be asked for their own.
That means that dedicated user-account, instead of groups. And the idea was, that a) if you are the single user & owner you don't want to be bothered with the concept of other accounts and certainly not the root-pwd (Linus variant) b) in a large company specific roles are assigned to certain users, Those users should only be troubled with their own pwd, and should never have access to neither root-pwd nor root-privileges. Dedicated accounts with their own pwd are a nightmare for an organisation. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
