Then how can you possibly be conflating the use of RBAC with using sudo as gods 
only gift to role requirements?

And as for both the urls, as well as my misspelled references for 
/etc/user_attr, in the first case the urls weren't meant for you alone. In the 
second A. my spelling sucks bfd, B. no comment doesn't really give much answer 
to any understanding of the difference. user_attr is an RBAC tool just like 
sudo is, and less of a hassle to deal with in most cases.  The other problem 
with sudo is that it's vulnerable to people doing bad things with shell 
permissions. In combination the 2 can be layered, which is fairly nice in some 
situations, and sudo is nice training wheels for users who do not feel 
comfortable working in an administrative role, but it is a limited tool to say 
the least.
