Summary     : Allows command execution as root for specified users
Description :
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 while
logging all commands and arguments. Sudo operates on a per-command basis.
It is not a replacement for the shell. Features include: the ability to
restrict what commands a user may run on a per-host basis, copious logging
of each command (providing a clear audit trail of who did what), a
configurable timeout of the sudo command, and the ability to use the same
configuration file (sudoers) on many different machines.

# Note: name sudo originates from "su" which means "substitute user"
# Hence: sudo: substitute user and do (command)
