Using Sudo
- Just add a "sudo " to your command (pipes/redirects slightly tricky)
- Prompts you for your personal password (don`t need to know root)
- Confirms you are allowed to execute command ... and logs what you did
- Caching of password (default 5 minutes)
Can use NOPASSWD option for accounts used for batch processes
- Some people just don`t "get it" and resist ... "I need root!"
Are you sure you want those folks to have it?!? ;-)
