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.

Thank you for the links, but I am already "up to speed", as I knew about this 
before it had been officially anounced.
