I don't use sudo. I find it rather pointless. If I need to do something as root, I use su to gain root privileges, then when I'm done, I exit and return to the original user. The user running su must be in the group "wheel" to be able to su to root. This is a simple yet convenient security system.
What when you have several people with different privileges wanting to do stuff that normally only root can? Would you give your root password to everyone, or rather install sudo and define exactly what a user can do? -- Pietro Cerutti - ASCII Ribbon Campaign - against HTML e-mail and proprietary attachments www.asciiribbon.org _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
