John,
Can you expand on your definition of rubbish. Can you list it's
defects so we can have a valid reason to exclude it rather than an
emotional anti-Linux rhetoric. I have used both RBAC and sudo on Solaris
over the years. Both have their good points and bad points. I do not
think there is a valid reason to leave either out.
