    our situation :
    All linux servers, all nfs share use the root_squash option.
    We're using NIS
    All developpers can become root on their local machines.

    The prob : if user1 do a `su -` on their station. And then, `su user2`
    they can become user2.

    For me it's a huge problem (windows don't have this prob, local admin
    are very different from domain/server admin) is there a way to avoid
    this prob ?

    Thanks !
