It may be that the person has root access for maintenance, but is not in the sudo users file, and doesn't have time to set it up for a one-time use. > Apart of that, a welder also should know what he are doing while > managing soldering iron.

It's more like root is a repair person, who is repairing the welder's equipment. A welder shouldn't take the equipment apart, normally, but a repair person may need to, and knows what they are doing. You don't want to disable the equipment in some way when he's working on it, as he may need it to be functioning normally to fix it. -- Marty Fried -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
