But, what to do when they are lazy, or too novice for fiddling w= ith the command line? Do I use the admin's prerogative and set their own crontabs to pull and "pa= ckage -u" once in a while? I feel like this is overriding their free will f= or their own good. Note that the question is ethical, as much as technical :)
