Re: One user ID for all users

Alright, Alright, I wasn't responding to you, good grief, I made a mistake and replied on your response. I was answering the original question. He asked for some thoughts on using one user id for multiple users. I thought your idea had a lot of merit but also thought we should give the user's CEO status, in addition to root access. That way in addition to having access to whatever they wanted, they could fire the sysadmin, dba and programmer's on a whim. Sound good?
