Also, I don't speak for the BSD certification project, although I have helped flesh out content on the wiki above. It appears that I changed the wording from "using the possibly 3rd-party sudo" to "possibly using the 3rd-party sudo" thinking that the objective's wording was in error, when actually those statements imply different meaning. I'm copying Jeremy Reed on this, who is closer to the Cert project and probably *can* speak for them. I'd imagine I need to find some way to fix that, because it sure seems to read as if *they* recommend using sudo.... ;-) Kevin Kinsey -- A general leading the State Department resembles a dragon commanding ducks. -- New York Times, Jan. 20, 1981
