[plug] Interesting command that may make root access more fun ..

[Richard Meyer]

You are correct, I was waiting for this thread to pop up again so I

to sudoers and gave himself full authority to do anything without the
password - of course he opens a vast hole in security, but it's his
machine, and I really don't feel like arguing ....

Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom.
It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.
