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., 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

• The manipulation/modification of any system daemon that is run as root

• Changes to the /etc/rc* files

The following activities (but not limited to) may be done by the applications development root owners:

• Change /etc/exports for mount directories

• Change /etc/fstab

• Add users/groups
