Our approach to this issue is to have hobbit client install/removal non-intrusive to client system.<br>
<br>1. have hobbit client depend on sudo package.<br>2. add entry for hobbit client's account in sudoer file.<br>3. make sure SUDO is point to correct sudo binary.<br>4. remove hobbit client entry upon removal of hobbit client package.<br><br><br>T.J.
