 I'm convinced that the strategy of granting system access permissions on
 the basis of administrative roles in the organization is a very bad
 advisor - and I'm looking back at 20 years of professional Unix system
 administration in a wide variety of organizations (and also on a wide
 variety of Unix systems).

 Our (at least Alex' and mine) concern is to implement a sustainable schema
 for access control on OSGeo ressources and this works best when you're
 telling us precisely what's missing so we can take appropriate care of it.
