I have. I am just saying that Ubuntu is NOT representative of Linux admins and
that going sudo is because of Dave Miner's affection for Ubuntu users and not
because of anything Linux.
I doubt any personal feelings you're imagining from Dave Miner had anything to
do with the direction Sun management established well before that change was
made. It's rather ironic to see people on the OpenIndiana mailing list
complaining so bitterly about the direction that Project Indiana set forth.
Sorry, I was being sarcastic about Ken's seeming assumption that Dave
decided on sudo for OSOL and lost his intelligence in the process.
Ubuntu is also far from the only Linux distro using sudo, and we had many
Solaris customers requesting sudo as well. RBAC is not replaced by sudo,
and is still fully in place for those situations where it's more appropriate
(such as granting certain roles enhanced privileges for specific commands,
instead of a blanket "Run everything you want as root, including things you
don't intend to" that Primary Administrator gave).
Well, yeah, all the other 'sudo for admin model' using distros are
probably Ubuntu derived...
