Even at a larger shop, it was set up so noone had the root password for servers.
It was generated, printed out on a 'face down' printer, folded, put in an envelope and put in the plant managers safe quarterly when we changed passwords on all servers. Part of the documented and audited regular security protocol. It was a pseudo randomly generated upper/lower/special/numbers password. I saw the password a few times after the quarter was over and it was one that you NEVER WANT to type, but it could be done, at least without my dyslexia :) This was just industry, nothing secret there. We built oil field well heads at that facility back then. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
