Generally, yes, that's close to the preferred way (many people with a BSD tradition like to use the group wheel). > 4) What binaries do you suggest putting in the "adm" group? su, dmesg, and anything you don't feel comfortable with other people running; the first two being some of the most important. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
