Just thought of this now ... having had to restart xinetd on our mail
server before I leave ...

One thing that Windows has that most linux distro's lack is out-the-box
rights management. Such as Power Users being able to install software
and make shares, etc etc.

Having just had a situation that has meant that only two people know the
root passwords on our servers, we have configured a few things via sudo
(such as that I can restart services via sudo). Also, for quite a while
we have had permissions on log files more sensible.

So, I was wondering if other people would consider it a good idea to
have a decent default sudo config, such that for example members of
(say) the adm group can start/stop/restart services?

Any other examples (I would give some more but don't have read acess to
our /etc/sudoers).

Of course, having sudo config in LDAP would really rock ...

Regards,
Buchan
