[sudo-users] RBAC .vs. SUDO

[Glenn Pitcher]

I agree... While RBAC does give you greater flexibility, I've found sudo to
be much easier to implement and I also believe it's better in a
heterogeneous environment since each vendor seems to implement RBAC
differently (at least for now.)

RBAC can give you the same functionality (and can be more flexible than
sudo)...however, the big trade off here is ease of implementation.  You also
have to setup your system to include the acl info which requires an
additional inode for every file that uses it. (this can be a problem with
inode limitations for those systems that have MANY small files and tend to
run short on inodes).

Hi All

Any one can point me to a comparison chart or something similar on RBAC .vs.
SUDO. I am using sudo on all my Solaris systems for last five years. However
recently I am noticing some interest in our organization about RBAC. I
personally think SUDO can achieve the same features that RBAC offer with
ease but looking for opinions in this community.

Thanks for your feedback.
