Dedicated accounts with their own pwd are a nightmare for an organisation.
What do you mean with that? I can only parse that sentence to mean all users should have the same password, which seems quite unlikely to be what you meant as that's nonsense.
Perhaps mistaken, but i got the impression that privileges for maintaining , for instance a printer, would be given to a dedicated _user_ account (with its own pwd) instead of giving the privilege to a group. Although it might lead to a working situation, if you need dozens of accounts & pwd to do your job, the situation got worse instead of better/safer. And against gaining root privileges with sudo: A work somebody implented it, and it ended up in a huge mess. the person asked for it so he could start/stop apache and mysql and so on. but some weeks later on whe found out that was doing totally other things (changing network addresses, which caused a lot of trouble) (Probably he implemented it the wrong way, but still it leaves a bitter taste) hw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
