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?

I have to admit to never using sudo unless directions specifically call for it. I don't like that it doesn't provide a full root environment, which can lead to mistakes.

"su -" for me.
