Quoth Wes Peters on Thu, 5 August: : : sudo? Sudo is a wonderful tool, but it far too big a hammer for such a small nail for one thing (allows root access to everyone permitted to perform a limited task), doesn't retrofit integrated environments with editors for another (as e.g. Xemacs), and just evades the issue rather than addressing it for a third -- although certainly it provides a useful work around for many cases (clearly enough cases so that what I regard as the real issue is much less pressing for most folks). Rhetorical question: Does sudo make group bits obsolete? Rhetorical response: Of course not.
