“Sudo, is a neat little tool. Very handy at times, what sudo
does is, allows certain specified users to run some or all commands
as root, and allows the system admin to log all of the commands
that the users enter, so you can peer over their actions
performed.”

“This guide is not meant to be the BEST of the BEST, it is
simply a stepping stone to get you up and running sudo.”

“Sudo is a really great tool, I hope you can benifit from it, I
sure can 🙂 If you have any questions/comments/complaints you can
send me an email at vince@lansystems.com. If you have any “errata”
(updates I can add) please mail me those too, I appreciate it and
so does everyone else who reads these guides.”
