WHAT IS SUDO?

Sudo (su “do”) allows a system administrator to delegate authority to give
certain users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands as
root or another user while providing an audit trail of the commands and their
arguments. For more information, see the introduction to Sudo.

Sudo is free software, distributed under an ISC-style license.
