RBAC is a standard? That's certainly news to me. Even if it were so, what good is a standard that is useless outside of Solaris, and what good is a standard that is overcomplicated for any practical purpose? As for equivalence, at the end of the day, RBAC and sudo accomplish conceptually the same thing, in two completely different ways. And that is a severe error. > I suggest this as reading to get somewhat up to > speed: > http://www.gcn.com/online/vol1_no1/45980-1.html > http://blogs.sun.com/jonathan/entry/opensolaris_and_th > e_nsa_national > http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/SNS/rbac/standards.html Thank you for the links, but I am already "up to speed", as I knew about this before it had been officially anounced. > Using user_attr(4) [/etc/user/_attr] is not rocket > science either...
