Got anything to back that up?
If you really want stories about cases where users got cut into this
before, just look in the archive and you will find many.
I remember one specially where a user had to drive about 200 miles based
on what he said to fix it after an upgrade that got his system wrong and
lock himself out where he could have access to the server with a user
that had sh as the shell, but not in wheel group and the only users he
could use for wheel were setup for bash and that was screw up. So, he
had access to the server, but couldn't get access to root in anyway as
it was bash for root and he just had to drive there to fix it. He forget
that bash wasn't compile statically and needed library that he couldn't
access then.
Something like that anyway. It's been about 1 1/2 years I think, so my
memory may be somewhat fuzzy, but if I recall properly, that's was about
it, or close to it anyway. He got a lots of help trying to help him, but
tin the end, no other option then a long drive.
So you do as you see fit, that's your system after all. No one will be
stuck other then you if that happened, but plenty give you the warning
about it. In the end, you do as you see fit.
I know very wise people give you advise and warning on it, I would very
strongly recommend to listen to them, but in the end, do as you see fit.
It's your time in the end and your head.
Best,
Daniel
