Also, if the TSM server has to be stopped and restarted, if the TSM server is running as root, sudo can be used for rc.dsmserv and (hopefully not often) kill commands. Other dsmserv commands might also be necessary, for example, dump/unload/load db, dsmfmt, and extend log processes would need access to db and log files which might be problematic if they were owned by root.

Does the administration of TSM equire root privleges for some of it's functions and, if so, that'd explain sudo but how are the members of the list granting the apps team only the privleges they need? My company frowns heavily on anyone having root other than the S.A.'s.
