Ladies and Gentlemen; I have an issue with our Data Base Admins (DBA's) wanting the root passwords for their workstations. We had just recently a DBA run a crack against a shadow file and move the shadow file from one of the Unix machines to a PC. We staff separate Systems Administrators that normally admin these workstations, and I have a "symbiotic" relation on security issues with our SA's and trust them to perform necessary updates. Obvious issues aside, I would really like to hear about policies and issues that others have in relation to DBA's having root access. These DBA's support our Oracle Financials. (ehhh shiver up my spine) that hold all our customer financial information. I would really appreciate responses to this since it has become a very touchy issue and I'm getting stuck in the middle being the Security person. Thanks.
