    Greetings Gurus,
     
    Our fearless leaders are contemplating the split of AIX ID administration and AIX system administration into two independent IT groups.
     
    I was wondering what the best solution would be - in terms of giving ID Admins enough authority to add/delete/unlock users and passwords, but little authority beyond those basic functions...
     
    I have used sudo in the past, unfortunately my admins have an aversion to using sudo (citing support issues)... I'm a couple years removed from daily user administration, so I thought I'd throw it to the discussion list... is there a generic AIX user ID for this function? Any highly recommended third party software? Tivoli?
     
    Any input/suggestions would be appreciated...
     
    Thanks everyone!
     
    PJ
