#2 Re: Giving ordinary users root privileges, selectively Posted by Anonymous (213.115.xx.xx) on Sat 15 Sep 2007 at 16:38 The last example seems to go against everything I thought I understood about privilege separation. There is a reason why not even the single user on a private computer uses root as their normal account. Why would you want to bypass that layer of protection against fatal mistakes? Please at least mention that this is a very bad idea...
