Sudo is just another path for the unscrupulous to gain priviledged access. There are so many anyway. Why add another? I don't even store personal data on my system like login names and passwords, forms, charge cards, etc. Enter by hand everytime. Yes, an inconvenience, but a more secure system. Security is not so much one or two big things, but a lot of little things you do. B
