How do most fink developers have their permissions configured, and do they run
with admin privileges? I am currently running my doug account as admin, but
that seems a little spooky and I'd rather not (though on Windows XP you pretty
much get used to running as admin because stuff just doesn't work or is very
inconvenient if you don't).
I am happy to use sudo if that’s what everyone does.

I think you're right. I probably still type it from way back in the day
when it didn't automatically. Plus, it doesn't hurt to be explicit
about it.
Also, couldn't Doug just use 'sudo pico xxx.info' and then not have to
change permissions on /sw?
I suppose, but then you have to type sudo everytime you want to edit the
file. User preference, I suppose.
