I'm familiar with 'sudo'.  I just find it inconvenient.  On the
machines in question, there is no root password.  The machines are
exclusively used for development, and have no outside connections, so
ease-of-use is the order instead of security.  That's why I prefer to
set permissions as I see fit, instead of having artificial
permission-setting in device drivers.

Happy hacking,
joelh
