We are in a similar state. Some machines are still out of bounds to me because of the requirement for root access - the business/application owner just doesn't want to be giving away root access to anyone more than is needed. A "sudo" shell option for an unprivileged account would work wonders. Via /etc/suoders, they'd be able to "give away root" for just the commands needed by Nessus - and not one drop of blood more :-) -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
