Linux has sudo, Solaris has pfexec --however from what Sriram and Moinak say pfexec is far more secure then sudo so in Solaris use pfexec in Linux disable sudo!! Or alternatively in Linux don't use Ubuntu..... it does however make a nice desktop distro. Just can't stand the GUI apps on it, mind you I don't like RH GUI apps either that appear on CentOS and Fedora. I think that's one of the really strong points of Solaris that there aren't any GUI apps at least for 10... OSOL and other OSOL based distros a bit different but at heart they are all the same. --K
