I would find it very hard to do my job without RunAs. Closest thing to sudo that Windows has(only thing?). Helpdesk staff would also find it difficult. Which is why I think this a policy issue as much as anything else. If someone has your creds then they can login as you, as well as use runas as you.(Apologies for all that 'as'). My exceptional justification is practicality. -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of Ansgar -59cobalt- Wiechers Sent: Wednesday, October 11, 2006 9:12 AM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Re: preventing run-as option On 2006-10-10 Lariviere, Stephen wrote:
Disable runAs all together. It is bad unless you have an exceptional justification for it.
