local access rights to *nix boxes



Hi guys,

Out of curiosity, I wanted to see what access restrictions (if any) 
you're given on your linux or unix desktops at work.  Do you get full 
access including root password with development done on a separate 
machine?  Or do you have limited access to your desktop via something 
like sudo and do development right on it?  Have you had different access 
in the past?  If you have a laptop, is the access any different.  I know 
there's both sysadmins and developers on this list, so where you happy 
with the restrictions you had/set?  What can you do and what can't you 
do that you'd like to be able to?  This should be an interesting thread...

Thanks,
~Matt
