Sudo (superuser do) allows a system administrator to give certain users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands as root or another user while logging the commands and arguments.

The current version is sudo 1.6.8p8, released on March 31, 2005.

Please note: versions of Sudo prior to 1.6.8p2 are affected by a potential security flaw that could allow a malicious user to subvert Bash shell scripts.

Sudo is free software and is distributed under an ISC-style license.

Sudo is also user-supported software--the author receives no funding from vendors who include it in their products. I would like to significantly overhaul the current Sudo code and write a proper user's manual but, as I am currently unemployed, I can't do it without funding. You can help make this happen by purchasing a support contract for your organization, buying a copy of Sudo or by making a donation. The future of Sudo is in your hands.
