However from an adhoc point of view I dont see why not assuming what you are doing with it needs root privilege. Its also far less risky than giving a user access to a box. Again without knowing your security policy, i dont see why sudo coming from ports vs base system is really relevant. As long as said port is audited to the same level or higher than the base system i dont see any problem. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
