Whenever you invoke a command with sudo, a small typo can break the<br>
whole system. Use sudo with care and avoid it whenever possible.<br>
Always maintain your own stuff as a non-privileged user.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>IMHO the whole concept of sudo is wrong and I never use it. It allows unprivileged user to do privileged things. If you have your own personal computer and do not share it with anybody, then it makes no sense not to know the root password. You can then do "su -" and enter the root password and you know that your actions are potentially dangerous. If the computer is shared by several people then it is stupid to give them the right to use sudo. A privileged administrator should take care of the system setup, security etc, other user should not have right to access system settings. Thus sudo with unlimited rights is wrong.<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
