Parson’s Lights manufactures natural lighting fixtures sold throughout North America. The users in the Manufacturing and Inventory Building are fully networked and use modern operating systems. The managers and accounting group use Windows 7. Users on the manufacturing floor are equipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation, and the inventory users have computers running Mac OS X. There is a secure computer room in the Manufacturing and Inventory Building that houses five Windows Server 2008 R2 servers. All of the computer equipment is recently set up because the company just reorganized and gave these users a large budget to fully network the building and upgrade operating systems.

Reconsidering Root Account Access for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Users

Because there are three around-the-clock shifts of workers, all of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux computers on the manufacturing floor are shared by three people. In the past, they have all used the root accounts to access these computers, but there have been problems with unexpected changes to computer setups and files. Also, this has meant that no single user could secure specific files only for his or her use. What general suggestions do you have for doing things differently? Also, what tools do you recommend using to accomplish your suggestions?
