-Sudo --
-    Sudo allows a permitted user to execute a command as the superuser.

-In the author's view, the main differences to the administrator are:
-
-    (1) the files that specify valid user/command combinations have

-    (2) super provides a safe wrapper for scripts, so that a
-	well-written script can be run safely by ordinary
