 Basing on workarounds where i make some people work on different issues, and 
there issues need root privileges, i should not give them all, the root access 
via password, etc.. For five people workaround, it means five root people. This
is of-course a big gap for security. sudo may be a solution, who did what can 
easily be checked via logs. This should not be a physical problem for an
administrator to check logs and keep the maintainance!
