I've been using it for years. I used to work at a small ISP where people who didn't know much had to create user accounts, so we just gave them limited sudo privs. Also, I felt a little better about having it so not everyone knew the root password. And the logging of commands is nice, so you know who to beat up when something breaks :) -- Chip Marshall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.chocobo.cx/chip/ GCM/CS d+(-) s+:++ a21>?
