I'll summarize.

        Hi All,

        I'm going to write a doc for my customer concerning UNIX User admin.

        Concerns are about :
        
        - should they have one UNIX user per human user
        - how to deal with "generic/application centric" users
        - root password and connection auth
        - ...

        My point of view in few words :
                - one human / one user and same user Win32/UNIX
                - No passwords (account locked or RBAC roles) for application centric
users
                - No direct connect to root user except on console
                - no rsh/rcp
                - no ftp
                

        I'm looking for some document references on these.

        TIA

        Nicolas
