Hey, Richard Lowe wrote:I'm against duplication solely for familiarities sake, for a whole host of reasons, the obvious maintenance burdon being just one of them. This is something that needs detailed thought and rationale on a case-by-case basis. "Linux has it, so ship it!" is not a reasonable umbrella. That said, I also think "The perfect Solaris for the * user" is also the wrong goal, remove everything after and including the "for", and adjust the word "Solaris" to meet your openness and trademark tastes, and we're far closer to actually having a worthy goal.I think we need to look at the overall user experience. Arguably the best bits of Ubuntu aren't because it has sudo - in fact when using it, I've rarely dropped into a terminal window and needed it. I think we can strive for that user experience with RBAC underneath the hood and have the best of both worlds. Would certainly be worth doing some simple investigation into the merits ofboth, and figure out where we may need to improve.
Well, I for one didn't mean shipping RBAC as it is and expecting users to figure it out. My idea was to slap down an intuitive GUI of some sort ( backed by commandline stuff... like AIX's smit/smitty ) to make the whole process as painless as possible
