- Using sudo is not an option --- The root might as well install the

- Let me restate my problem a bit more clearly (I hope). The
- administrators maintain and support several applications. Users install
- whatever software they feel would be useful to themselves and others.

- and then writing an entry into a file. This system is really messy.
- Is there a way to manage this?
Use rpm's with the --root option?
