I think you missed my point. Sudo is an alright idea. I'm just saying for home users, being able to yum install a signed package without root is a good policy. This is analogous to OS X allowing administrative users (the default for the user you create while first installing OS X) to install applications without any special privilege elevation through sudo. -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
