why are accountants so paranoid? like the system admin’s going to go in and read all the company’s financial data, decide he’s not getting paid enough, then post it all on his blog….
oh yeah. that would be bad.
even so, i’ve been asked by a client to migrate the accountant’s home over to the server – easy enough, i’ve done it already with all the other users. however, they’d like me to make it so that *only she* can access its contents. not even the server admin (me) or anyone else with admin access (CEO, etc) should be able to see what’s in her home directory. not even root, if someone were to log in at the console.
what i’ve told them is that anything that lives on the server is ultimately accessible by root, and the admin group has sudo root access. at least they have the password (“how do we fix things when you’re not here?”)
sigh.
feasible? advisable?
for extra bonus points, the accountant in question is running, you guessed it, windows XP. so, we’d need to talk about a windows home directory living on 10.4 server, accessible via SMB, and secured to the standards above.
it’s so much easier working with designers.
