Sudo, used correctly, is more secure than su or setuid. People just
need to know their tools, I guess. ;)

I'm still not going away like that.
Why is a suid script more dangerous than i.e. suid mount? What else is
dangerous about suid root in general (apart from the bad code you
shouldn't execute anyway)?
And I don't think su is any better than sudo.
