I'm in complete agreement with Jay. I do the majority of my work as vobadm
but without root I'm tied into having to hunt down a sys-adm person. The
longer I'm in the Build and release field I've come to the conclusion that
owning and administrating the CM machines is the way to go.
My last company had one program that had the root access in the security
depart for emergencies.. it was a pain but at least work didn't stop.
