Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Well now.
That seems to be as close to a descriptions of what "sudo" does in as many words.

Except... "sudo" has more granularity.

Sorry. Innovation? no. Making headway? Absolutely not. Catching up? Not hardly.

Okay, let up be serious here. "sudo" has been around for a while, a long while. I've used it since *BEFORE* 1998.

At least Microsoft picked a good model to "embrace and extend". They did muck it up quite badly. They "re-thought" the interface ... badly. They made it complicated. They made it cumbersome.

Oh well, at least it is in the right direction. 10 steps forward, 9 steps and a few inches of a skid back again.

New Huh?
You means I can use it to assign a group of people (based on group membership) the ability execute specific command (or a group using pattern matching wild cards) as a specific user (NOT ADMIN USER), ie: a production user that has very clearly defined rights against certain files and certain hardware.

I doubt it.

New I was giving them the benefit of the doubt.
You are right. Most of (All) the "Milestones" Microsoft has made with Vista for security have been in UNIX, since... forever or at least since the "everything is a file" idea came about.

It is really a shame. I just hope they fix it.

New *nod*
Example.

DACLs. Windows-only folk make a big deal out of these, saying that the UID/GID-based security of UNIX filesystems is inadequate, and that you need NTFS (which, for all that it's attached to a steaming pile of shit operating system, is actually a pretty good filesystem).

Tell me again when the proprietary UNIXes grew these? Was it 1992ish? When did VMS have these? 1982-ish?

Windows: failing to understand that writing a badly-designed wizard is not the same as innovation since 1995.
