Root Authority

Root access will be given to Mr. A and Ms. B to support servers AD0001 and AD0002. Mr. A and Ms. B are to support/backup each other (i.e., during illness /vacation). If they're both unavailable, contact Technical Support (within the Data Center).

All changes to root will be audited to provide a trace of activity from the root user . The following activities are to be done by Technical Support upon request:

kernel changes
disk reconfigurations
modifying the root user environment
installation of any binary into the system directory structure
modification to any network- related configuration files
manipulation/modification of any system daemon that is run as root
changes to the /etc/rc* files

The following (but not limited to these) activities may be done by the Applications Development root owners :

change /etc/exports for mount directories
change /etc/vfstab
add users/groups
