I saw that article, Jim.  The guy lost all credibility on point #1 alone.  In a corporate, audited, governing-body certified environment, you should NEVER not use sudo.  (with full logging).  

I have been in environments where we had to go look up the root pw when a vendor product refused to honor sudo, but aside from that, 97+ % of what you do can (and should) be managed via sudo.  Anything else is pure laziness.

If you don't impose those guidelines on yourself, SAS70, ITIL, ISO, or some other body will.
