Hello managers,
Now days, with the Unix servers and the Client-Server applications sometimes
is not clear who should have access to the root account. The Networks people
want to have it. The Software Developers also (because they need to start
and stop the Database Engine). The computers operator also has to use it.
And of course, the system manager needs it.
When you talk about 100 servers, 30,000 client PC's and a computer
department of 1,700 people the root password becomes a nightmare.
So how do you handle this?, What are your recomendations?.
The Unix's boxes of course are not all DU systems, there are
HP-UX, AIXs, Suns, etc.
Thanks for you comments in advance!
