Superuser do – sudo. Means you are executing a command as a root user, and it will require a password. All commands will be logged by the system.
Sudo Features include:
- ability to restrict what commands a user may run on aper-host basis
- copious logging of each command (providing a clear audit trail of who did what)
- a configurable timeout of the sudo command, and the ability to use the same configuration file (sudoers) on many different machines.
