Sudo (superuser do) allows a system administrator to give certain users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands as root while logging all commands and arguments. Sudo operates on a per-command basis, it is not a replacement for the shell. The latest version of sudo is cu-sudo v1.5. There is a web page for sudo at <http://www.courtesan.com/courtesan/products/sudo/sudo.html>. The program itself can be obtained from <ftp://ftp.courtesan.com/pub/sudo/>. Sudo's author, Todd Miller < Todd.Miller@courtesan.com> reports that sudo works on both AIX 3.2.X and 4.1.X.
