Just to let you all know... sudo could potentially open up security risks...
I have done everything I could to reduce these risks when I used it...
(internal access only... limiting what command the user can run, etc.).
When using sudo, never allow external Internet access to it and always limit
what specific commands can be run. It's a very powerful command.
the sudo file is in /etc/sudoers
Trev.

Hi Michael. You might want to look into using 'sudo' as mentioned
recently on list for Trevor's squidguard implementation. Start with 'man
sudo' or a Google search for online sudo help resources.
