Re: [RFC] disabled root account / distinct group for users with administrative privileges

Isn't that the same for any kind of clever group name we'll find?
Unless we choose something really weird, there will always be someone
already using that name....

Maybe sudo is not that bad, after all..:-)


another idea: "sudoroot"?


And for ${deity}'s sake, people (not Russ, who I'm answering to)
should stop talking about 'bikeshedding'. Yes, that makes one look
smart. French has a less smart definition for activities where one
discuss things before taking decision and that involves having
(preferrably safe) sex with flies. It has about the same condescendent
implication: the discussion is useless.

This discussion is not.

We will have to live with whatever group name we choose
now for *years*, so better carefully choose it now. Sorry for bikes
and flies....
