Security tip-reminder for Unix-Solaris Administrators
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The hacker who breaks into your system will be probably someone you know.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Never give out root passwords to users. Either use tools to get them what
they need or deny them the access or function they are requesting. As a last
resort, give users root-level privileges only for those functions they
absolutely must have in order to do their jobs. Users with root privileges
are potential problems.
(Solaris Security, Peter H. Gregory)
