4. Are you doing ANYTHING in the profile to change the set of standard UNIX commands,
aliases for commands, PATH changes? (so that some scripts you don't know about will fail, for example)

1. yes
2. there is a powerbroker group that they can sudo into but currently they are sudo'ing into the service account via ssh
3. the user will lose their own custom profile that they would have applied similar to how we apply ours. they would need to re-apply their custom profile should they accidently inherit ours.
4. no. the custom profile consists of aliases and functions designed to perform purpose built tasks. we have been running this profile for a few months without adverse effects

thanks for looking into this
