Well, now that you have a choice between sudo and RBAC, why call for dumping RBAC? sudo makes more sense in a heterogenous environment, RBAC takes more advantage of Solaris features in a Solaris-only environment. Pick the one that works for you, and leave other folks for whom another choice works better to their own devices, please.
