Here
we use "sudo" to give me access. I can do a "sudo ksh" or "sudo su -" and
'become' root. At this point I can do anything I want, but if something
did go wrong, at least they can track things back to my user ID that I logged on
with. With enough work, we could probably make sudo more specific and only
allow access to the commands we wanted, etc.
I
guess it depends on your organization. In your case, I would venture a
guess that they simply don't trust you enough and think that you might
accidentally do damage to something else running on the box. In my case,
I've gained this level of trust and have free reign.
I'm curious as to how Netview Administrators under AIX managed to Install/Configure Netview
without Root Authority. Is there anyone out there that performs these
duties but have to rely on AIX administrator to perform Netview Administrator
functions.
I'm told from the AIX group that I
can't have Root
Authority to the Netview Box. Mainly,
because it could accidentally bring other systems down.
Please give me some feedback as how you
manage your Netview box, without this Root Authority.
Thank you in advance,
