Hi, original question was a comparation between sudo and RBAC. See the summary below: Thanks to, Kanellopoulos Angelos Mike Salehi ed@the7thbeer.com Jeremy S. Loukinas Colin Bigam Alan Pae ----- RBAC Advantages: -Built in to Solaris 9 -Possibility to configure with gui (Sun Management Console) -Very flexible -Integrated into the Solaris authentication mechanism -Supported by Sun RBAC Cons: -More complex to configure -Roles and rights not clearly defined -Not as granular as sudo Sudo Advantages: - Easier to configure - Small, lightweight - No massive GUI needed to configure - Very very granular - Superior logging Sudo Disadvantages: - No ability to 'become' a role as with RBAC - Have to define each and every command so setup takes longer - Need to compile and install - Not integrated into the Solaris authentication mechanism, acts like a 'shell' on top of the services. - Not supported by Sun In a few words, RBAC looks a good choice for a broad environment and one central privilege granting system, and sudo is better to set up pseudo root access in smaller environments. The size of your environment and your requirements will determine which is the better tool. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!
