What "sudo" means on linux terminal

By jalex • Linux • 28 Sep 2009

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.
