In practice, this approach *is* effectively giving him full root access. Once you have to give the tech the ability to edit root-owned files, you have to trust his honesty. Once any kind of local access is given to a user trust becomes an issue; regardless of root access or not. By only allowing a certain set of commands there would still need to be a great deal of cracking to gain more access. If one just gives out root access no more would need to be done. This is where sudo is unlike root access. There are some important advantages to doing it through sudo, though: one is that it makes it easy for the user to keep track of just the root-privileged commands, and another is that it's easier for the user to avoid shooting himself in the foot. Other advantages to sudo are not having to give out the root password. A possible solution may be using sudo and watch together. To watch everything done by the remote-connected tech, the most complete approach is probably watch(8), which is a much simpler way of getting everything typed on a particular tty. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] While I agree that any kind of raised privilege may not be the best idea, if it is necessary, sudo adds a layer of protection you do not get with straight root. -Tom ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Memory leak in PHP on FreeBSD
I was reading http://www.bsdnews.com and ran across an article about a memory leak in php and mysql on FreeBSD. This is fairly concerning considering I run quite a few servers with this setup. I haven't been able to find much documentation regarding this subject. It has been reported as a permanent hole which seems odd. However, if there is a problem does anyone have any info? -Tom ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Soekris NET4801 Hang Ups
I have had a net4801 running as a router at a branch office doing basic routing stuff...this packet comes in from here go there. I'm running 6.0-Release on it and it seems to work wonderfully but about once a month it just hangs. No response from anything and the only way to bring it back is to pull the power and plug it back in. I'm including the dmesg and would like any help regarding this.

Depending on what you'd like to do, GNU readline may be a fine solution to your
situation. Otherwise, getch(stdin) with a bit of code to cook DEL/BS/CR/NL,
or just use the getline port as you've already done. :-)
