Hi,
... and I'd say that in the car example the *driver* should indeed be compared to the "ordinary sysadmin", while the "ordinary users" would be the passengers.
I can agree with this, but please remember: In Germany it's very good practise, that you are only allowed to use your car on public roads, if and only if a) the car has an technical allowance from an official institution. This Allowance may be applied by vendor for a model series or by you for unique car. b) the car has has been reviewed on an regular schedule by an official accepted institution. (In Germany you would call it TUEV or DEKRA) c) after modifying (like using different parts) your car, if and only if - new parts have an general official permission to be installed to your model OR - your car with modification has been reviewed and allowed by an official accepted institution. And don't think the TUEV will even accept a vase of flowers mounted on the dashboard of the car, if they think someone could get hurt by this equipment in case of an accident. ;-) Regards, Holger ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Holger van Lengerich paderLinx - Neue Informationsmedien GmbH Diplom-Informatiker Cheruskerstraße 2b, 33102 Paderborn mailto:hvl@paderlinx.de Fon: +49 5251 8994 - 16 Fax: -20 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
