(besides the noted > fsck problem) Yes, and it is not for security, in strict sense :-) Recent normative in Italy require to avoid "impersonal" administrative access. I solved configuring personal, centralized authentication to Active Directory and doing "su -" everytime I need administrative access. In this way, every root login can be tied to a name and I'm compliant with rules. I'd like to go a step further, avoiding shared knowledge of root password at all and I was thinking to an extensive use of "sudo", as suggested in many contexts.
Thus, don't think to practical reasons but help me to disable generic root access, with the obvious escapes in case of disaster (no network, rescue, etc) Thanks -- DV _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
