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).
