If you know something is broken and you need to fix it then why use sudo on every call to something needing root privileges and not do the right thing and su -/sudo -i and diagnose and fix the problem? Aren't you making your life harder if you sudo ifconfig that sudo fdisk this instead of having a proper root session? We do want to keep users from the habit to login as root, but when root priviledges are needed and you are a power user managing miriads of systems throughout the world, then just don't put obstacles in your way. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
