Do not take my word for it. sudo came out of the experience of Evi
Nemeth and her colleagues and students at the University of Colorado.
Evi ran a system administration track at U of C and is the author of
numerous books and papers. She is considered an expert at Unix/Linux
system administration.

So? Still means nothing to me (I'm not a yank) and my previous still
stands.

Evi is well known internationally. Look her up sometime and check out
her credentials.

Not in this country apparently, I asked a few other prominent admins at
a BBQ yesterday arvo, no-one heard of her :)
And it still means nothing, I have the most respect for other well known
figures, just because they decide something doesnt mean it is right, and
even they agree.

Of course, merely writing the book does NOT make one a perfect authority.

Just so but Evi might know how to work with the sudo control file.
If her book covers this it might be worth buying!
