&gt; And I truly doubt that having a separate person ( ie, asking to someone<br>
&gt; else who has the root password ) would have avoid any issues due to<br>

available for support.<br>
<br>
I would have done the update, hosed the system, and been on the spot to re-<br>

without computer until I returned..<br>

If there is a different person administering the system, then it&#39;s this person&#39;s responsibility to change the default behavior to prevent a normal user from updating the system.<br>
