Using LDAP for authentication across all servers will solve most of your<br>
problems. You can then enable/disable accounts centrally for each<br>
individual sysadmin and they can then use sudo.<br>
<br>
That way, no sysadmins should ever login as root (this is *BAD*) and all<br>
have the access they need. This also makes auditing who does what far<br>
easier.<br>
<br>
I personally also deploy my home directory to all our servers as a RPM.<br>
This makes sure my public key and various .(.*)rc files are in place.<br>
