Hi Matt,<br>
<br>
Please beware that you mess up the quoting slightly - often first line of a quote has too few indentation markers, making it </blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
display as if you are quoting someone else!<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Sorry, it's getting tricky to follow. It's been a while since I've replied to mailings in this form. </div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
(and please don't blame it on your mail application: ultimately you are in charge and can use a different one if it serves you badly!)<div class="im"><br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Oh, I appreciate that. Mistakes are easy to make. And please don't assume what I'll blame! </div>

I have 5 users in my household. I have 1 admin, 2 power users and 3 users. Those groups each have different privileges mapped out in sudo. The power users are allowed to restart apache and kick off backup. The admin can become ultimate root. All valid users can map to one central user to manage a bittorrent server.<br>

<br>
Ok, so in your household you are sysadmin.<br>
<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
I am but how could this case possibly be configured by the Debian sudo package? Or what if the roles of the people in the household change? Or what if more people are needed or a new role?<br>

Ahem - you cut off the part where I tried explain that. :-P<br>
<br>
Please try reply again to my former post, and comment also on that section right below above quote.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I don't think it did explain it. You mentioned a case of an 8 headed machines but that isn't relevant here. When I'm after is a particular outline of how the case I gave could be done using the debian package system. Explicitly, how would the sudo package handle the pretty standard case I outline?</div>

But you know what? It will stay that way, if you users of Debian do not expect more, and file bugreports about the flexibility you'd want Debian to provide.<br>
<br>
So in a sense your very attitude is to blame for Debian being as it is!</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I don't disagree with that at all, or much of what else you wrote. I will educate myself some more on Debian, but I still don't believe that package system should do all the system configuration. </div>
