Personally I prefer not using sudo. If you need to conduct root functions just do it as root in root's environment, why add another layer to worry about ya know ;)


'Cause sudo will log each command you run. That's *very* nice to have. Even if you're the only admin on the box, sudo logging has saved my butt several times when trying to remember the exact syntax of some obscure command - all it takes is a quick grep through the logs...

true if you can't find it in "history" ;)
