[NV-L] Root access

[REAMD@nationwide.com]

Hi All,
       Can someone
please provide me a technical explanation as to why you need to be logged
on as 'root' to install Netview?  I currently have a new Solaris 10
box that Im going to load Netview 7.1.5 on and my Unix team does not want
to give me the root password. They have given me 'sudo root' and with sudo
you already have the same level of access as the Unix Systems Administrators
and can grab a root shell as needed.  The only location the root user
can log into a server is on the serial console.  Ssh into the server
as root and running the su command will not work per the ITRM Unix security
template.  

Thanks, Dave
