Minus the last paragraph, you just discovered Ubuntu's model. Which is
derived from the older "wheel" model someone else mentioned.

admin role/group Posted Nov 19, 2009 19:41 UTC (Thu) by drag (subscriber, #31333) [Link] Ubuntu's model is to give unfettered access to root if you are able to supply the user's password. Which is exactly the sort of thing I want distros to avoid completely.It's acceptable in a single user environment, which is typical, but it's completely counter productive for most other environments. You should not be required to have root access to perform mundane and routine actions.
