Re: Question regarding sudo equivalents

It's all in the question though isn't it. It appears that google is in fact not omniscient
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=what+alternatives+to+sudo+are+members+of+oracle-l+using%3F seems to actually be the question which was asked. None of the links on the first page answer the question - it would be really scary if they did, to be honest.

From your recommended link " I won't comment on these other options* as I haven't spent much time working with them *"

FWIW, Pete we use sudo in exactly the way Matt describes, i.e run oracle related stuff as oracle and delegate necessary root actions to oracle via sudo.
