Some developers (the ones who think they know more about the os than they really do) have a nasty tendancy to break things, badly.. and if you give 'em root, they can also install any additional packages they want without telling the group that admins production, so you go to move the app to production, and all the sudden things break.. lots of reasons not to let the developers have root. -- Nate Carlson <natecars at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500 _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
