Well, I've not seen what Ubuntu does, but I find sudo v. useful for giving access to specific commands for certain users. It's also useful when I'm building + installing RPMS. I can build as my "normal" user account, then install with "sudo rpm -Uvh ..." or "sudo yum localinstall ..." - no need to "su - ", enter password, find the user directory containing the RPMS I've just built, then install them. Guns don't kill people, people kill people (and monkeys do too, if they have a gun). :) R. _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
