Introduction to Sudo

Sudo (su "do") allows a system administrator to delegate authority to give certain users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands as root or another user while providing an audit trail of the commands and their arguments.

Short Descriptions

sudo	executes a command as another user as permitted by the /etc/sudoers configuration file.
sudoedit	is a hard link to sudo that implies the -e option to invoke an editor as another user.
visudo	allows for safer editing of the sudoers file.
sudo_noexec.so	enables support for the "noexec" functionality which prevents a dynamically-linked program being run by sudo from executing another program (think shell escapes).
