If this is that often, perhaps he should be doing his own secondary DNS. Or you could set up an automated system (perhaps with a user-friendly WWW interface?) that authenticates username/password pairs and makes controlled changes. Dunno about you, but I wouldn't trust my DNS configuration to very many of our customers, authenticated or no. Even if you do allow others to make changes, there's no reason why superuser access is required make changes to the bootfile. // Matt Zimmerman Chief of System Management NetRail, Inc. // [email protected] [email protected] // (703) 524-4800 [voice] (703) 524-4802 [data] (703) 534-5033 [fax]
