-----Original Message----- From: John Fitzgerald [mailto:jjfitzgerald@gmail.com] Sent: 24 juillet 2007 15:42 To: Tom Grove Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Ian Lord Subject: Re: Root access loggin I may be misunderstanding this, but wouldn't allowing only certain commands with sudo assume that the user actually knows what commands are needed by the user? In this situation it seems like the whole reason to grant access to the server was because the user _doesn't_ know what needs to be done. ~~ Exactly, I don't know what needs to be done, and they don't neither. That's why they need to browse around trying to figure out why their installer doesn't work. Sudo wouldn't be any help here cause I would need to pre approve commands and I don't know which one will be needed. Basically, I don't there there is a better solution then giving away the root password, but at least, I would like a log of what has been done. Naturally, I understand any log could be overwritten/modified since the person is root, but since I don't think Zend would make fun in hacking my server, the point in having the log is to undo anything I wouldn't approve ..
