I am wondering about how I can set up good control over the use of 'root' and file/directory ownership without hurting too many people.
The situation is , our Club has a Computer that is maintained remotely through a dedicated internet link and it seems everyone that has to do things on that computer wants ROOT access. For example, the person that maintains the WEB page says he cannot do his amendment work etc., without root access. It was my feeling that only ONE person should have ROOT access and the other (sub/administrators)) should have something less than ROOT access. Maybe I am getting paranoid here but it seems too many funny little things are happening such that is done only by a person with root access that there is now a need for better control. So, if we were going to take away root access from the WEB page administrator (for example) could he not still do all his work (remotely) with ROOT access? In other words assign him a user name and password and maybe attach certain group permissions to that user name and have all his web page activities run off his user directory? Something like that?? Or should we live with the confusion and political unrest that we are having now?? Too many cooks in the kitchen right now.. --- Ted Gervais, Coldbrook, Nova Scotia, Canada _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
