The sudo package allows a system administrator to give certain users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands as root or another user while logging the commands and arguments.
Installed Programs: sudo, sudoedit, and visudo
Installed Library: sudo_noexec.so
Installed Directories: None
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).
