System Requirements
For mid-range systems running Linux®
or Unix®,
the IDG 9074®
controls root access.
Since root access gives the user total system control, both unintended
mistakes and deliberate maliciousness can
cause catastrophic interruptions in system availability and business
continuity (or even survival). The concerns
inherent in granting root access on Unix and Linux systems are magnified
as the computers are distributed
geographically (for example, a production data center in one location
and the associated disaster recovery site in another) or as the number
of systems increases. Root access is not granted lightly.
