Any already-existing group is going to have the problem that some sites will already be using it for something else. We put all sysadmins in group 0 (which happens to be root on Debian), a policy that for us dates back to when we were a Solaris shop, and then set su and ksu so that they're only executable by users in the root group. This limits access to su/ksu, but not in the same way that is being discussed here for sudo. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
