Re: Question regarding sudo equivalents

At my current employer we use sudo but my previous client used sesudo which is part of CA Control Minder. Not sure what the benefit is, maybe better auditing.

The main benefit to me is that it didn’t require me to type my password a second time. :-)

The idea that sudo is old hat, is sort of the point, if you ask me. I want it because it's old and stodgy and simple and effective, and it's *everywhere* on Unix/Linux platforms! Also, when is the last time you heard anout a security hole in sudo?
